Potassium ozonide is an oxygen rich compound of potassium. It is an ozonide, meaning it contains the ozonide anion (O3−). In polarized light, it shows pleochroism.[1] Hybrid functional calculations have predicted the compound is an insulator with a band gap of 3.0 eV, and has magnetic behavior which departs from the Curie–Weiss law.[6]
The compound can be created by reacting ozone with potassium hydroxide, but the yield is quite low, only 5-10%.[7]
- [math]\ce{ 6KOH + 4O3 -> 4KO3 + 2KOH (H2O) + O2 }[/math]
The compound is metastable, and will decompose to potassium superoxide and oxygen, especially if there is any water in the atmosphere. Long-term storage in very dry atmosphere is possible below around 0 °C.[3]
- [math]\ce{ KO3 -> KO2 + 1/2 O2 }[/math]
This compound reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and potassium superoxide.[4]
