Caesium ozonide
Caesium ozonide (CsO3) is an oxygen-rich compound of caesium. It is an ozonide, meaning it contains the ozonide anion (O3−). It can be formed by reacting ozone with caesium superoxide:[2][3]

The compound will react strongly with any water in the air forming caesium hydroxide.[3]
If heated to between 70 and 100 °C, caesium ozonide will quickly decompose to caesium superoxide (CsO2).[3] In fact, the compound is metastable to decomposition into caesium superoxide, slowly decomposing at room temperature, but can remain intact for months if stored at -20 °C.[4]
Above around 8 °C, the crystal structure is of the caesium chloride type, with the ozonide in place of the chloride ion. At lower temperatures, the crystal structure changes to a structure identical to rubidium ozonide (RbO3), with space group P21/c.[2]
