Kryptonium ion explained

Kryptonium ion should not be confused with kryptonium.

The kryptonium ion, KrH⁺, is an onium ion, consisting of protonated krypton. Kryptonium is known in dilute gas phase.^[1] Although salts of the fluorokryptonium ion, KrF⁺, are known to exist, the existence of the kryptonium salts have not been proven.^[2]
