Abstract: | The isoelectronic F2O and Cl2O are known to react with Lewis acids to produce salts of the unrelated O2+ and ClO2+ ions. We propose a unifying mechanism entailing formation of F3O2+ and Cl3O2+ by the simultaneous abstraction of halide ions and attack of a second molecule of the halogen oxide. Logic is presented for nonisostructural arrangements of these ions, F2O+-OF and (ClOClOCl)+. Subsequent dehalogenation reactions then produce the observed ions. |
