A laboratory study was performed to investigate the composition of products formed from OH–initiated oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbon 1,3,5–trimethylbenzene. The experiments were conducted by irradiating 1,3,5–trimethylbenzene/CH3ONO/NO/air mixtures in smog chamber. The chemical composition of gas and particle–phase products have been investigated with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and the aerosol laser time–of–flight mass spectrometer (ALTOFMS), respectively. Experimental results showed that 3,5–dimethyl benzaldehyde, 2,4,6–trimethylphenol, 2–methyl–4–oxo–2–pentenal and 3,5–dimethyl–2–furanone were the predominant products in both the gas and particle–phases. However, there were some differences between detected gas–phase products and those of particle–phase, for example, oxalic acid, 2–methyl–2–hydroxy–3,4–dioxo–pentanal, and 2,3,5–trimethyl–3–nitro–phenol were only existing in the particle–phase. The possible reaction mechanisms leading to these products are also proposed. Compared to offline methods such as GC–MS measurement, the ALTOFMS detection can analyze real–time the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) successfully and provide more information on the products. Thus, ALTOFMS is a useful tool to reveal the formation and transformation processes of SOA particles in smog chambers.
