In chemistry, ethanium or protonated ethane is a highly reactive positive ion with formula C 2H+ 7. It can be described as a molecule of ethane (C 2H 6) with one extra proton (hydrogen nucleus), that gives it a +1 electric charge.
Ethanium is one of the simplest carbonium ions (after methanium CH+ 5). It was first detected as a rarefied gas in 1960 by S. Wexler and N. Jesse.[1] It easily dissociates into ethenium C 2H+ 5 and molecular hydrogen H 2.
