Dioxidanylium
Protonated molecular oxygen or just protonated oxygen is an ion with formula HO2+. It is formed when hydrogen containing substances combust, and exists in the ionosphere, and in plasmas that contain oxygen and hydrogen.[3] Oxidation by O2 in superacids could be by way of the production of protonated molecular oxygen.

It is the conjugate acid of dioxygen. The proton affinity of dioxygen (O2) is 4.4 eV.[4]
Significance
Protonated molecular oxygen is of interest in trying to detect dioxygen in space. Because Earth's atmosphere is full of O2, its spectrum from a space object is impossible to observe from the ground. However HO2+ should be much more detectable.[5]
Formation
Reaction of O2+ with hydrogen: O2+ + H2 → HO2+ + H·.[6]
The reaction of the trihydrogen cation with dioxygen is approximately thermoneutral: O2 + H3+ → HO2+ + H2[4]
When atomic hydrogen, created in an electric discharge is rapidly cooled with oxygen and condensed in solid neon, several reactive ions and molecules are produced. These include HO2 (hydroperoxyl), HOHOH−, H2O(HO), HOHO− as well as HO2+.[7] This reaction also forms hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydrogen tetroxide (H2O4).[8]
Properties
In the infrared spectrum HO2+ the v1 band due to vibrating O-H has a band head at 3016.73 cm−1.[9]
Reactions
A helium complex (He-O2H+) also is known.[9]
O2H+ appears to react rapidly with hydrogen O2H+ + H2 → O2 + H3+.[10] O2H+ also reacts with dinitrogen and water. O2H+ + H2 O → O2 + H3O+.[10]

The protonated molecular oxygen dimer, O4H+ has a lower energy than that of protonated molecular oxygen.[4]
