Peroxides, Superoxides, and Ozonides of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals

Since the early 1930''s, Soviet chemists have played a lead­ ing role in the study of unfamiliar oxidation state compounds of the peroxide, superoxide, and ozonide types. Interest in the alkali and alkaline earth metal derivatives is now widespread and diverse, and numerous practical applications of these com­ pounds have evolved, ranging from their use as air revitaliza­ tion materials in space c...
