perhydroxide
Perhydroxide is a term that has been used to refer to compounds containing the peroxide ion, O₂²⁻. This ion consists of two oxygen atoms linked by a single bond, with each oxygen atom carrying a formal charge of -1. While not a formal chemical name recognized by IUPAC, it has appeared in older literature and in some informal contexts to describe substances where the peroxide group is a prominent feature.
The most common and well-known perhydroxide compound is hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂. In hydrogen peroxide, the peroxide
The perhydroxide ion is a strong oxidizing agent and can react vigorously with reducing agents. This reactivity
