Potassium trioxide

Interaction at — 20°C produces potassium trioxide, a spontaneously explosive solid [1], Later references suggest that these compounds are not spontaneously explosive [2,3].

When the tetroxide is heated at 480° C. under a pressure of 1 mm. of mercury, it is converted into potassium trioxide, K203, a yellow, crystalline substance, from which dilute sulphuric acid generates hydrogen peroxide. Its heat of formation from the elements is 124-34 Cal.8... 

Reacts to form explosive products with alkanes + oxygen (forms peroxides), cyano-guanidine, perchloric acid (forms fluorine perchlorate gas), potassium chlorate (forms fluorine perchlorate gas), potassium hydroxide (forms potassium trioxide).
