Quantum‐chemical calculations predict the existence of two almost equal‐energy isomers of the FSO 5 radical with either side‐on or end‐on bonding of O 2 to FSO 3 (see picture). The structure of this polyoxy radical isolated in solid noble‐gas matrices and formed by the reaction of FSO 3 with molecular oxygen has now been revealed by IR and UV spectroscopic investigations.
