Carbon trioxide

Carbon trioxide (CO₃) is an unstable product of reactions between carbon dioxide (CO₂) and atomic oxygen (O).^[1] It is different from the carbonate ion (CO₃^2-). It has also been detected in reactions between carbon monoxide, CO, and molecular oxygen, O₂. Among other places it has been shown to be created in the drift zone of a negative corona discharge.^[2] This pathway arises from reactions between carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen ions, created from molecular oxygen by free electrons in the plasma.
