Peroxycarbonate

In chemistry, peroxycarbonate (sometimes peroxocarbonate) is a divalent anion with formula CO2−
4. It is an oxocarbon anion that consists solely of carbon and oxygen. It would be the anion of a hypothetical peroxocarbonic acid HO–CO–O–OH[1][2] or the real hydroperoxyformic acid, HO-O-CO-OH (a.k.a. percarbonic acid, carbonoperoxoic acid).

The peroxycarbonate anion is formed, together with peroxydicarbonate C
2O2−
6, at the negative electrode during electrolysis of molten lithium carbonate.[3] Lithium peroxycarbonate can be produced also by combining carbon dioxide CO2 with lithium hydroxide in concentrated hydrogen peroxide H2O2 at −10 °C.[4]

The peroxycarbonate anion has been proposed as an intermediate to explain the catalytic effect of CO2 on the oxidation of organic compounds by O2.[5]

The potassium and rubidium salts of the monovalent hydrogenperoxocarbonate anion H–O–O–CO−
2 have also been obtained.[6][7][8][9]
