Modern Views on the Nature of Inorganic Peroxy-compounds

A general account is given of the literature data on the molecular oxygen anions O₂^2–, O₂^–, and O₃^– characterising the structures of simple peroxy-compounds: peroxides, superoxides, and ozonides. The principal studies published in recent years dealing with the structure of complex peroxy-compounds are briefly summarised. The nomenclature for organic peroxy-compounds proposed by other authors is critically discussed and a scheme is put forward for classification and nomenclature based on the latest data on the structures of such compounds.
