Carbon trioxide (CO3) is an unstable oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon). Three possible isomers of carbon trioxide, with molecular symmetry point groups ''Cs'', ''D3h'', and ''C2v'', have been most studied by theoretical methods, and the ''C2v'' state has been shown to be the ground state of the molecule.〔 Tim Kowalczyk, (Electronic structure and spectroscopy of carbon trioxide ) 〕〔 〕 Carbon trioxide should not be confused with the stable carbonate ion (CO32−). Carbon trioxide can be produced, for example, in the drift zone of a negative corona discharge by reactions between carbon dioxide (CO2) and the atomic oxygen (O) created from molecular oxygen by free electrons in the plasma.〔 〕 Another reported method is photolysis of ozone O3 dissolved in liquid CO2, or in CO2/SF6 mixtures at -45 °C, irradiated with light of 2537 Å. The formation of CO3 is inferred but it appears to decay spontaneously by the route 2CO3 → 2CO2 + O2 with a lifetime much shorter than 1 minute.〔 〕 Carbon trioxide can be made by blowing ozone at dry ice (solid CO2), and it has also been detected in reactions between carbon monoxide (CO) and molecular oxygen (O2). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carbon trioxide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
