It is a highly reactive and powerful oxidizer that reacts explosively with nearly any organic compound.
Focusing on comparisons within the transition metal series, Tc2O7 and Mn2O7 are structurally similar but the Tc−O−Tc angle is 180°.
The explosion can be initiated by striking the sample or by its exposure to oxidizable organic compounds.
The ozone can spontaneously ignite a piece of paper impregnated with an alcohol solution.
