Abstract
In the present work, a new sequence of quaternions related to the Leonardo numbers -- named the Leonardo quaternions sequence -- is defined and studied. Binet's formula and certain sum and binomial-sum identities, some of which derived from the mentioned formula, are established. Tagiuri-Vajda's identity and, as consequences, Catalan's identity, d'Ocagne's identity and Cassini's identity are presented. Furthermore, applying Catalan's identity, and the connection between composition algebras and vector cross product algebras, Gelin-Cesàro's identity is also stated and proved. Finally, the generating function, the exponential generating function and the Poisson generating function are deduced. In addition to the results on Leonardo quaternions, known results on Leonardo numbers and on Fibonacci quaternions are extended.
