Soft X-ray induced chemistry of H2O, CO and CH3OH and the effects of the water and nitric acid hydrate (HNO3ยท1.65H2O) matrix on the photochemistry of CO and CH3OH have been investigated using NEXAFS spectroscopy. For pure H2O, CO and CH3OH ices, we show that the destruction rates are strongly limited by back reactions, leading to strikingly high survival rates of these molecules upon the harsh irradiation conditions to which they are submitted. We also evidence the interplay between the photochemical reactions of CO and CH3OH and those of the matrix. The OH and O radicals released by the photolysis of H2O and HNO3 react with the CO and CH3OH and their fragments, considerably reducing the survival rates compared to pure CO and pure CH3OH ices, especially in presence of nitric acid, and dramatically enhancing the formation of CO2 at the expense of CO. Because NEXAFS spectroscopy allows identifying which reactions are important among those possible, it emerges a simple picture of the photochemical routes of CO and CH3OH in the H2O and HNO3/H2O environments.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
