A hitherto unknown, atmospherically relevant, isotope‐exchange reaction was studied in ionised gaseous mixtures containing carbon dioxide and monoxide. The mechanism of the O exchange, proceeding over a double‐minimum potential‐energy surface, was positively established by mass spectrometric and theoretical methods that also allowed the identification and characterisation of the C 2 O 3 + intermediate. The increase of internal energy displaces the observed reactivity towards an endothermic reaction path that involves only CO 2 and represents an indirect route to the dissociation of carbon dioxide.
