Production

Hydronium perchlorate is produced by the reaction of anhydrous

molar ratio:[2]

HClO4 + H2O → [H3O]+ClO4

A more analytically reliable method was reported using the macrocyclic Schiff base of sodium 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenolate and 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol as a chelating agent to sequester Cu(II): transmetallation of the macrocycle with copper(II) perchlorate yielded colorless crystals of hydronium perchlorate.[1]

It can also be produced by the reaction of anhydrous nitric acid and perchloric acid.[3][clarification needed]
