<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Organic nitrate esters are key products of terpene oxidation in the atmosphere. We report here the preparation and purification of nine nitrate esters derived from (+)-(3)-carene, limonene, &amp;alpha;-pinene, &amp;beta;-pinene and perillic alcohol. The availability of these compounds will enable detailed investigations into the structure reactivity relationships of aerosol formation and processing and will allow individual investigations into aqueous phase reactions of organic nitrate esters.</p>
