Production
    
Hydronium perchlorate is produced by the reaction of anhydrous perchloric acid and water in a 1:1 molar ratio:[2]
- HClO4 + H2O → H3OClO4
This method was found to produce some byproducts and is not a reliable method. A more reliable method was reported by the cyclocondensation of sodium 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenolate(produced by the reaction of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and sodium hydroxide in ethanol) and p-phenylenediamine via the sodium template method. It resulted in a yellow solid which was transmetallated with copper(II) perchlorate then refluxed in nitrogen for 1 hour. The resulting solution was filtered and cooled to form the colorless crystals of hydronium perchlorate.[1]
It can also be produced by the reaction of anhydrous nitric acid and perchloric acid.[3]
