The reaction mechanism of ozone (O3) addition to the double bonds of gas phase keto-limonene was investigated using ab initio methods.Two different possibilities for O3 addition to the double bond were considered and two corresponding van der Waais complexes (Complex 1 and Complex 2) were found for 1-endo and 2-endo.The rate constants were calculated using the transition state theory at the CCSD(T)/6-31G(d) + CF//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level.The high-pressure limit of the total rate constant at 298 K was 3.51 × 10-16cm3/(molecule.sec),which was in a good agreement with the experimental data.
