Crystal Structure of Potassium Ozonide

Abstract: Although potassium ozonide can be synthesized at room temperature, it is extremely difficult to retain it in a pure form. Upon contact with water vapor, it tends to decompose partially to KOH and KG2. This instability is the main reason why several attempts to grow single crystals have been unsuccessful so far, so that any investigation of the structure must be undertaken by the powder method of X-ray crystallography.

“…As for the bond distance in KO, there exists no experimental estimate for the gas-phase structure of KO 3 . In crystalline KO 3 , the K−O distance has been found to be 2.70 Å . We can compare with LiO 3 , which has been studied theoretically previously, giving a Li−O bond distance between 2.21 and 2.24 Å.…”

“…In crystalline KO 3 , the K-O distance has been found to be 2.70 Å. 28 We can compare with LiO 3 , which has been studied theoretically previously, giving a Li-O bond distance between 2.21 and 2.24 Å. Because potassium has a more electropositive character and its ion has a larger radius, the K-O bond distance should be longer, which we indeed find is the case; r(K-O) is calculated to be 2.46 Å.…”

“…Erst in jüngster Zeit wurden die Alkalimetallsuboxide aufgeklärt [11]. Am wenigsten zuverlässig ist man gegenwärtig über die Alkalimetallozonide informiert, obwohl es auch hier in der Vergangenheit nicht.an Anstrengungen gefehlt hat, die Natur dieser Verbindungen aufzuklären [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…The crystal structure of KO 3 , which is isostructural to RbO 3 and CsO 3 , was first described in 1963 by Azároff and Corvin, but reliable data on the geometry of the O 3 − units could not be determined until 1987 by Schnick and Jansen because of its metastable character with respect to O 2 release. KO 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I 4/ mcm space group (No.…”
