Abstract

Photolysis of o-nitrophenol, contained in brown carbon, is considered to be a major process for the generation of nitrous acid (HONO) in the atmosphere. In this Letter, we used time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with 29.5 eV probe pulses and ab initio calculations to disentangle all reaction steps from the excitation to the dissociation of HONO. After excitation, intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold follows ultrafast excited-state intramolecular hydrogen transfer, where the molecules deplanarizes and finally splits off HONO after 0.5-1 ps.
