The dioxygenyl ion, O+
2, has been studied in both the gas phase and in salts with anions that cannot be oxidized. The first synthesis was O+
2[PtF−
6]. Rather than the triple bond of O
2, the bond order is considered to be 2⁠1/2⁠. Relative to most molecules, this ionization energy is very high at 1175 kJ/mol. As a result, the scope of the chemistry of O+
2 is quite limited, acting mainly as a 1-electron oxidiser.
