Protonated ozone is a hydrogen polyoxide having the molecular formula HO+3 (also written O3H+). It is a cationic structure consisting of an ozone unit with a hydrogen atom attached to one end. This substance is proposed to exist as an intermediate in several interstellar, atmospheric, and synthetic chemical processes. [1] It has been synthesized in mass spectrometer experiments by protonation of ozone using various strong acids. [2] Related experiments have used it as the precursor for generating hydrogen ozonide.
