- Abstract
Nucleophilic high-molecular-weight organic compounds (HMWOC) are sensitive to proton (H+) in FT-ICR MS analysis. A comprehensive evaluation of diurnal evolution of nucleophilic HMWOC was performed. HMWOCs aged significantly in daily cycles, accompanied by functionality shifts, particularly oxygenated and reduced nitrogen (CHON and CHN) and oxygenated organics. The intensities of HMW oxygenated compounds increased during daytime and nighttime. The daytime evolution produced more nitrogen-containing compounds with carboxylic groups (–COOH) homologs with molecular weights greater than 300, while the nighttime evolution produced mostly small CHON compounds (molecular weights
