Molozonide

A molozonide is a term for a 1,2,3-trioxolane.[1] It is a class of unstable cyclic organic compounds, which includes three oxygen atoms and two sp3-hybridized carbon atoms. A molozonide is an intermediate formed during ozonolysis as a precursor of the ozonide complex formed during cleavage.[2]
