Title: Kinetic study on the linalool ozonolysis reaction in the atmosphere
Abstract: In the atmosphere, linalool ozonolysis will generate a series of oxidation products and then form particles through nucleation. In this study, the linalool ozonolysis mechanisms were studied and some of the main products detected from experiment are verified. The Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) theory and the canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small curvature tunneling effect (SCT) are used to calculate rate constants over the temperature range of 200∼800 K. The total rate constant for the reaction of ozone with linalool is 4.50 × 10 −16 cm 3 molecule –l s –l , and the addition of ozone to (CH 3 ) 2 C=CH– is the main ozone addition position. Furthermore, the Arrhenius formulas are fitted and the lifetimes of reaction species in the troposphere are discussed for the first time. The total atmospheric lifetime of linalool relative to O 3 is 2.30 h. The O 3 -initiated atmospheric lifetimes of P1, P3, and P6 are 2.64 months, 16.67 days, and 15.5 h, respectively.
