This latest article from alumni Ren and Sedlak, former research students in the Elrod lab, describes a method "that allows for the study of the reaction of sulfate radicals and several olefinic precursors."
Ren, He; Sedlak, Jane A.; Elrod, Matthew J. 2021. General mechanism for sulfate radical addition to olefinic volatile organic compounds in secondary organic aerosol. Environmental Science & Technology 55(3): 1456-1465 DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c05256 (goes to American Chemical Society publications site)
From the abstract:
"Specific mechanisms for each olefinic precursor were developed, as well as a generalized mechanism that can be used to predict the sulfate radical reaction pathways for any olefin. The product yield results indicate that this mechanism is dominated by carbon backbone fragmentation pathways: 61, 83, 79, and 100% for AA, MVK, MBO, and MA, respectively. Several of the observed organosulfate products have also been detected in field observations of SOA, which indicates the potential relevance of this mechanism in the atmosphere."
