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.[3]
