Oxonium



Oxonium has these meanings:

  • An oxonium ion is a positive oxygen cation which has three bonds. For example, protonating a carbonyl gives an oxonium ion, with two bonds to a carbon atom and one bond to a hydrogen atom.* The term oxonium is also used specifically to mean the hydroxonium (common name: hydronium) ion, which is the above type of oxonium, with three hydrogens (H3O+).
  • Oxonium (often abbreviated to Oxon) is sometimes used in university circles as a Latin name for Oxford (University) in England.
