The nature of the O—O bond in hydroperoxides

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

Quantum-chemical calculations of the H2O2 and F2 molecules using different computational schemes, basis sets, and procedures for the inclusion of electron correlation were performed. High-resolution X-ray diffraction study of the electron density distribution in the crystals of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhexane and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhex-3-yne was carried out. Joint analysis of the results obtained showed that the formally covalent O—O and F—F bonds correspond to a specific type of interatomic interaction. This type is intermediate between the shared and closed-shell interactions (the latter are typical of the ionic systems and van der Waals molecules).
