Peroxo compounds include hydrogen peroxide (→  Hydrogen Peroxide) and substances derived from hydrogen peroxide by substitution of one or both hydrogen atoms by a metal or a nonmetal such as sulfur, boron, nitrogen, or phosphorous. Peroxides in a wider sense also include the hyperoxides (MO2), H2O2 addition compounds (e.g., sodium carbonate peroxohydrate), and the inorganic ozonides (MIO3). In the IUPAC nomenclature, the prefix peroxo is used for inorganic compounds, and peroxy for organic compounds.

A very large number of peroxo compounds have been described in the literature 1-5. This article gives an overview on the properties and industrial applications of the most important peroxo compounds and products of commercial importance.

Due to the low strength of the OO bonding (209 kJ/mol), all peroxo compounds exhibit powerful oxidizing properties. Inorganic peroxo compounds are therefore employed as oxidizing and bleaching agents in the detergents, textile, electronics, and chemical industries.
