The divisions of the atmosphere are not based on the presence of ozone. Ozone exists in all layers of the atmosphere, with a peak in the lower stratosphere. Ozone is considered a free radical, not an ion. Ions are found in the "ionosphere" which is also called the thermosphere, where the Sun's ionizing energies rip the molecules apart (and fresh ions arrive from the Sun).
