Hydronium perchlorate is aninorganic chemical compound with thechemical formula[H3O]ClO4. It is an unusualsalt due to it being a solid and stablehydronium salt. It consists of hydroniumcations[H3O]+ andperchlorateanionsClO−4.
Hydronium perchlorate is produced by the reaction of anhydrousperchloric acid andwater in a 1:1molar ratio:[2]
A more analytically reliable method was reported using the macrocyclic Schiff base of sodium 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenolate and 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol as a chelating agent to sequester Cu(II): transmetallation of the macrocycle withcopper(II) perchlorate yielded colorless crystals of hydronium perchlorate.[1]
It can also be produced by the reaction of anhydrousnitric acid andperchloric acid.[3][clarification needed]
