Determination of ozonization reaction rate constants of aromatic pollutants and QSAR study.

Rate constants of ozone with 39 aromatic compounds in aqueous solution were determined at 298 K. And optimized calculation was carried out at B3LYP/6-311G** level with DFT method. 10 molecular parameters obtained from calculations were selected as the descriptors to establish QSAR models for predicting the rate constants.
