Peroxo compounds, inorganic
Abstract
Introduction: Peroxo compounds in the narrower sense include hydrogen peroxide (-> Hydrogen Peroxide) and substances formally derived from it by substitution of one or both hydrogen atoms by other elements more electropositive than oxygen. Peroxides in the wider sense also include hyperoxides. which contain the paramagnetic O2- anion, and the so-called inorganic ozonides of the type M'O3. A very large number of peroxo compounds are described in the literature [1]-[5], but only the relatively few that are of industrial importance are considered in this article.
Like hydrogen peroxide itself, inorganic and organic peroxo compounds are used, on account of their oxidizing properties, as bleaching agents in detergents and in the textile industry, and in the electronics industry for etching printed circuits. They find further uses as polymerization initiators in the plastics and coatings industries and as oxidizing agents in chemical synthesis.
