Lyonium ion
Appearance
Inchemistry,alyonium ionis thecationderived by theprotonationof asolventmolecule.[1]For example, ahydronium ionis formed by the protonation ofwater,andCH3OH+2is the cation formed by the protonation ofmethanol.
Its counterpart is alyate ion,theanionformed by thedeprotonationof a solvent molecule.
Lyonium and lyate ions, resulting frommolecular autoionization,contribute to themolar conductivityof protolytic solvents.
