Abstract
The present work focuses on unraveling the collisional processes leading to the fragmentation of the gas-phase furan molecules under the He+ and He2+ cations impact in the energy range 5–2000 eV. The presence of different mechanisms was identified by the analysis of the optical fragmentation spectra measured using the collision-induced emission spectroscopy (CIES) in conjunction with the ab initio calculations. The measurements of the fragmentation spectra of furan were performed at the different kinetic energies of both cations. In consequence, several excited products were identified by their luminescence. Among them, the emission of helium atoms excited to the 1s4d1D2, 3D1,2,3 states was recorded. The structure of the furan molecule lacks an He atom. Therefore, observation of its emission lines is spectroscopic evidence of an impact reaction occurring via relocation of the electronic charge between interacting entities. Moreover, the recorded spectra revealed significant variations of relative band intensities of the products along with the change of the projectile charge and its velocity. In particular, at lower velocities of He+, the relative cross-sections of dissociation products have prominent resonance-like maxima. In order to elucidate the experimental results, the calculations have been performed by using a high level of quantum chemistry methods. The calculations showed that in both impact systems two collisional processes preceded fragmentation. The first one is an electron transfer from furan molecules to cations that leads to the neutralization and further excitation of the cations. The second mechanism starts from the formation of the He−C4H4O+/2+ temporary clusters before decomposition, and it is responsible for the appearance of the narrow resonances in the relative cross-section curves.

Abstract
A large amount of furan and its derivatives are contained in the biomass pyrolysis products, which mainly lead to the formation of combustible CO with an increase in the pyrolysis temperature; in this study, to illuminate the reaction mechanisms involved in the evolution of CO during the pyrolysis of furan and its main derivatives, quantum chemical theory has been adopted with the GGA-RPBE method, and nine possible reaction pathways have been investigated for the pyrolysis of furan, furfural (FF), furfuryl alcohol (FA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to generate CO. According to the calculation results, the optimal path for the pyrolysis of furan and its main derivatives to generate CO is as follows: at first, a ring opening reaction of furan occurs to form an aldehyde group, and then, decarbonylation occurs to form CO. Furthermore, the side chain functional groups on the furan ring can promote the ring opening reaction of the furan ring. In addition, the reaction energy barriers of the rate-determining step for the pyrolysis of furan, furfural, furfuryl alcohol and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to form CO have been determined as 343 kJ mol−1, 330 kJ mol−1, 317 kJ mol−1 and 363 kJ mol−1, respectively. Quantum chemical theory has been used to study the furan and its derivatives pyrolysis reaction, nine possible reaction pathways has been studied. Results show that decarbonylation of CO after ring opening is easier than direct decarbonylation.![]()

Abstract
The UV photodissociation of isoxazole (c-C3H3NO) is studied in this work by chirped-pulse Fourier transform mm-wave spectroscopy in a pulsed uniform Laval flow. This approach offers a number of advantages over traditional spectroscopic detection methods due to its broadband, sub-MHz resolution, and fast-acquisition capabilities. In coupling this technique with a quasi-uniform Laval flow, we are able to obtain product branching fractions in the 193 nm photodissociation of isoxazole. Five dissociation channels are explored through direct detection of seven different photoproducts. These species and their respective branching fractions (%) include the following: HCN (53.8 ± 1.7), CH3CN (23.4 ± 6.8), HCO (9.5 ± 2.3), CH2CN (7.8 ± 2.9), CH2CO (3.8 ± 0.9), HCCCN (0.9 ± 0.2), and HNC (0.8 ± 0.2). Guided by previous electronic structure and dynamics simulations, we are able to elucidate the dissociation dynamics that govern the final product branching fractions observed in this work, which differ significantly from previous reports on the thermal decomposition of isoxazole. Interestingly, both direct and indirect dynamics contribute to its dissociation, and clear signatures of both are manifested in the relative branching ratios obtained. Consistent with previous studies on the unimolecular dissociation of isoxazole, our findings also suggest the importance of the open-shell singlet diradicaloid species vinylnitrene in the dissociation dynamics, regardless of the initially populated excited state. This work, taken together with previous investigations, provides a global picture of the complex dissociation pathways involved in the photodissociation of isoxazole.

Abstract
We present a complete exploration of the different fragmentation mechanisms of furan (C4H4O) operating at low and high energies. Three different theoretical approaches are combined to determine the structure of all possible reaction intermediates, many of them not described in previous studies, and a large number of pathways involving three types of fundamental elementary mechanisms: isomerization, fragmentation, and H/H2 loss processes (this last one was not yet explored). Our results are compared with the existing experimental and theoretical investigations for furan fragmentation. At low energies the first processes to appear are isomerization, which always implies the breaking of one C-O bond and one or several hydrogen transfers; at intermediate energies the fragmentation of the molecular skeleton becomes the most relevant mechanism; and H/H2 loss is the dominant processes at high energy. However, the three mechanisms are active in very wide energy ranges and, therefore, at most energies there is a competition among them.

Abstract
A silicon carbide microtubular reactor has been used to measure branching ratios in the thermal decomposition of furan, C4H4O. The pyrolysis experiments are carried out by passing a dilute mixture of furan (approximately 0.01%) entrained in a stream of helium through the heated reactor. The SiC reactor (0.66 mm i.d., 2 mm o.d., 2.5 cm long) operates with continuous flow. Experiments were performed with a reactor inlet pressure of 100-300 Torr and a wall temperature between 1200 and 1600 K; characteristic residence times in the reactor are 60-150 μs. The unimolecular decomposition pathway of furan is confirmed to be: furan (+ M) ⇌ α-carbene or β-carbene. The α-carbene fragments to CH2=C=O + HC≡CH while the β-carbene isomerizes to CH2=C=CHCHO. The formyl allene can isomerize to CO + CH3C≡CH or it can fragment to H + CO + HCCCH2. Tunable synchrotron radiation photoionization mass spectrometry is used to monitor the products and to measure the branching ratio of the two carbenes as well as the ratio of [HCCCH2]/[CH3C≡CH]. The results of these pyrolysis experiments demonstrate a preference for 80%-90% of furan decomposition to occur via the β-carbene. For reactor temperatures of 1200-1400 K, no propargyl radicals are formed. As the temperature rises to 1500-1600 K, at most 10% of the decomposition of CH2=C=CHCHO produces H + CO + HCCCH2 radicals. Thermodynamic conditions in the reactor have been modeled by computational fluid dynamics and the experimental results are compared to the predictions of three furan pyrolysis mechanisms. Uncertainty in the pressure-dependency of the initiation reaction rates is a possible a source of discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions.

Abstract
Fuels of the furan family, i.e. furan itself, 2-methylfuran (MF), and 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) are being proposed as alternatives to hydrocarbon fuels and are potentially accessible from cellulosic biomass. While some experiments and modeling results are becoming available for each of these fuels, a comprehensive experimental and modeling analysis of the three fuels under the same conditions, simulated using the same chemical reaction model, has - to the best of our knowledge - not been attempted before. The present series of three papers, detailing the results obtained in flat flames for each of the three fuels separately, reports experimental data and explores their combustion chemistry using kinetic modeling. The first part of this series focuses on the chemistry of low-pressure furan flames. Two laminar premixed low-pressure (20 and 40 mbar) flat argon-diluted (50%) flames of furan were studied at two equivalence ratios (φ=1.0 and 1.7) using an analytical combination of high-resolution electron-ionization molecular-beam mass spectrometry (EI-MBMS) in Bielefeld and gas chromatography (GC) in Nancy. The time-of-flight MBMS with its high mass resolution enables the detection of both stable and reactive species, while the gas chromatograph permits the separation of isomers. Mole fractions of reactants, products, and stable and radical intermediates were measured as a function of the distance to the burner. A single kinetic model was used to predict the flame structure of the three fuels: furan (in this paper), 2-methylfuran (in Part II), and 2,5-dimethylfuran (in Part III). A refined sub-mechanism for furan combustion, based on the work of Tian et al. [Combustion and Flame 158 (2011) 756-773] was developed which was then compared to the present experimental results. Overall, the agreement is encouraging. The main reaction pathways involved in furan combustion were delineated computing the rates of formation and consumption of all species. It is seen that the predominant furan consumption pathway is initiated by H-addition on the carbon atom neighboring the O-atom with acetylene as one of the dominant products.

Abstract
Due to growing environmental concerns and diminishing petroleum reserves, a wide range of oxygenated species has been proposed as possible substitutes to fossil fuels: alcohols, methyl esters, acyclic and cyclic ethers. After a short review the major detailed kinetic models already proposed in the literature for the combustion of these molecules, the specific classes of reactions considered for modeling the oxidation of acyclic and cyclic oxygenated molecules respectively, are detailed.

Abstract
Using photoelectron spectroscopy, we interrogate the cyclic furanide anion (C(4)H(3)O(-)) to determine the electron affinity and vibrational structure of the neutral furanyl radical and the term energy of its first excited electronic state. We present the 364-nm photoelectron spectrum of the furanide anion and measure the electron affinity of the X̃(2)A(') ground state of the α-furanyl radical to be 1.853(4) eV. A Franck-Condon analysis of the well-resolved spectrum allows determination of the harmonic frequencies of three of the most active vibrational modes upon X̃(2)A(') ← X̃(1)A(') photodetachment: 855(25), 1064(25), and 1307(40) cm(-1). These modes are ring deformation vibrations, consistent with the intuitive picture of furanide anion photodetachment, where the excess electron is strongly localized on the α-carbon atom. In addition, the Ã(2)A('') excited state of the α-furanyl radical is observed 0.68(7) eV higher in energy than the X̃(2)A(') ground state. Through a thermochemical cycle involving the known gas-phase acidity of furan, the electron affinity of the furanyl radical yields the first experimental determination of the C-H(α) bond dissociation energy of furan (DH(298)(C(4)H(3)O-H(α))): 119.8(2) kcal mol(-1).

Abstract
The detailed chemical structures of three low-pressure (35 Torr) premixed laminar furan/oxygen/argon flames with equivalence ratios of 1.4, 1.8 and 2.2 have been investigated by using tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and molecular-beam mass spectrometry. About 40 combustion species including hydrocarbons and oxygenated intermediates have been identified by measurements of photoionization efficiency spectra. Mole fraction profiles of the flame species including reactants, intermediates and products have been determined by scanning burner position with some selected photon energies near ionization thresholds. Flame temperatures have been measured by a Pt-6%Rh/Pt-30%Rh thermocouple. A new mechanism involving 206 species and 1368 reactions has been proposed whose predictions are in reasonable agreement with measured species profiles for the three investigated flames. Rate-of-production and sensitivity analyses have been performed to track the key reaction paths governing furan consumption for different equivalence ratios. Both experimental and modeling results indicate that few aromatics could be formed in these flames. Furthermore, the current model has been validated against previous pyrolysis results of the literature obtained behind shock waves and the agreement is reasonable as well.

Abstract
Thermal methods of various forms have been used to quantify carbonaceous materials. Thermal/optical carbon analysis provides measurements of organic and elemental carbon concentrations as well as fractions evolving at specific temperatures in ambient and source aerosols. Detection of thermally desorbed organic compounds with thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) identifies and quantifies over 100 individual organic compounds in particulate matter (PM) samples. The resulting mass spectra contain information that is consistent among, but different between, source emissions even in the absence of association with specific organic compounds. TD-GC/MS is a demonstrated alternative to solvent extraction for many organic compounds and can be applied to samples from existing networks. It is amenable to field-deployable instruments capable of measuring organic aerosol composition in near real-time. In this review, thermal stability of organic compounds is related to chemical structures, providing a basis for understanding thermochemical properties of carbonaceous aerosols. Recent advances in thermal methods applied to determine aerosol chemical compositions are summarized and their potential for uncovering aerosol chemistry are evaluated. Current limitations and future research needs of the thermal methods are included.
