Cesium ozonide

The ozonides are characterized by the presence of the ozonide ion, O - They are generally produced by the reaction of the inorganic oxide and ozone (qv). Two reviews of ozonide chemistry are available (1,117). Sodium ozonide [12058-54-7] NaO potassium ozonide [12030-89-6] 35 rubidium ozonide [12060-04-7] RbO and cesium ozonide [12053-67-7] CsO, have all been reported (1). Ammonium ozonide [12161 -20-5] NH O, and tetramethylammonium ozonide [78657-29-1/, (CH ) NO, have been prepared at low temperatures (118). 

Why do some of the alkali metals form oxides, while others form peroxides when they burn in the air How does the stability of the alkali metal oxides and peroxides change (from lithium to cesium) when heated Why is the formation of peroxides and also of ozonides the most characteristic of the alkali metals ...
