Infrared characterisation of acetonitrile and propionitrile aerosols under Titan's atmospheric conditions.
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics : PCCP 2017 January 26
Pure, crystalline acetonitrile (CH3 CN) and propionitrile (CH3 CH2 CN) particles were formed in a collisional cooling cell allowing for infrared (IR) signatures to be compiled from 50 to 5000 cm-1 . The cell temperature and pressure conditions were controlled to simulate Titan's lower atmosphere (80-130 K and 1-100 mbar), allowing for the comparison of laboratory data to the spectra obtained from the Cassini-Huygens mission. The far-IR features confirmed the morphology of CH3 CN aerosols as the metastable β-phase (monoclinic) ice, however, a specific crystalline phase for CH3 CH2 CN could not be verified. Mie theory and the literature complex refractive indices enabled of the experimental spectra to be modelled. The procedure yielded size distributions for CH3 CN (55-140 nm) and CH3 CH2 CN (140-160 nm) particles. Effective kinetic profiles, tracing the evolution of aerosol band intensities, showed that condensation of CH3 CH2 CN proceeded at twice the rate of CH3 CN aerosols. In addition, the rate of CH3 CH2 CN aerosol depletion via lateral diffusion of the particles from the interrogation volume was approximately 50% faster than that of CH3 CN. The far-IR spectra recorded for both nitrile aerosols did not display absorption profiles that could be attributed to the unassigned 220 cm-1 feature, which has been observed to fluctuate seasonally in the spectra obtained from Titan's atmosphere.
