hydrogen trioxide

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

hydrogen trioxide

Relatively stable compound of hydrogen and oxygen present in the atmosphere and possibly also in living tissue. It was first synthesized in 1994; previously it had been assumed to be too unstable.

It is produced in a reaction similar to that used for the commercial production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but ozone (O3) is used instead of oxygen. Hydrogen trioxide is stable at low temperatures but begins to decompose slowly at −40°C/−40°F forming the high-energy form of oxygen, singlet oxygen.
