Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to determine the structure of protonated ozone. Four stable minima were found on the O 3 H + singlet potential energy surface. Three forms correspond to ozone protonated at the central oxygen (C 2 v ) or at the terminal oxygen (two C s isomers, E and Z ). The fourth isomer (C s ) is a derivative of trioxirane. The most stable structure is the planar E form I. The proton affinity of ozone (to give I) is given as 123.6 kcal/mole (MP2/6‐31G*//4‐31G). The energy difference between I and protonated trioxirane VI is greater than that between ozone and trioxirane.
