Oxatriquinane is an alkyl oxonium ion with formula C9H15O+ remarkable for being stable in aqueous solution. It has a cyclononane backbone with the trivalent oxygen connected to carbons 14 and 7 forming three fused pentagonal cycles.Oxonium ions normally are strong alkylating agents and are only observed in solution as reactive intermediates or under extreme conditions.
