Scientific paper

It is suggested that the factor-of-two difference in ozone formation rate constants derived by Bates (1986) can also be explained by the omission of standard correction factors from the rate expression. Proper accounting for the fact that isotope exchange and recombination reactions share a common energized collision complex (which can decay by dissociation to products isotopically distinct from the original reactants) eliminates the anomalous dependence of the rate constant on the isotopic composition of the reactants and products through their symmetry numbers. In a reply, Bates argues that symmetry effects in association do not lead to enhancement of the total heavy ozone abundance.
