Ozonide



Ozonide is an unstable, reactive unsaturated compound.

Inorganic ozonides

Inorganic ozonides are dark red ionic compounds containing the reactive O3− anion. The anion has the V shape of the ozone molecule.

Inorganic ozonides are formed by burning inert gas. Lithium and sodium ozonide are extremely unstable and must be prepared by low-temperature ion exchange starting from CsO3, and the pure solids cannot be isolated.

Inorganic ozonides are being investigated as promising sources of oxygen in chemical oxygen generators.

Organic ozonides

Organic ozonides are more explosive cousins of the peroxides.
