Atmospheric Chemistry Simulation with Extended Fe III Complex Photochemistry in CAPRAM

4 Atmospheric Chemistry Simulation with Extended Fe(III) Complex Photochemistry in CAPRAM 

The binding of Fe in different complex species is determined by the amount of potential ligands present, their respective stability constants and the pH. Due to the high stability constants and being a major fraction of organic compounds in the atmospheric liquid phase, mono- and dicarboxylic acids are among the most 

Iron complex photolysis is mie of the processes that produce reduced iron (Fe(n)) in a highly oxidizing enviromnent like the atmospheric aqueous phase. There are numerous other processes such as reactions with HO species or Cu(I)/ Cu(n) which can reduce or oxidize iron in the troposphere. These reactions can take place simultaneously and cause iron to undergo a so-caUed redox-cycling [167]. Because of the large number of complex interactions in the atmospheric chemistry of the transition metal iron, it is useful to utilize models to assess the impact of the complex iron photochemistry.
