Also known as superoxides, hyperoxides, superoxide compound, superoxide salt

In chemistry, a superoxide is a compound that contains the superoxide ion, which has the chemical formula . The systematic name of the anion is dioxide(1−). The reactive oxygen ion superoxide is particularly important as the product of the one-electron reduction of dioxygen , which occurs widely in nature. Molecular oxygen (dioxygen) is a diradical containing two unpaired electrons, and superoxide results from the addition of an electron which fills one of the two degenerate molecular orbitals, leaving a charged ionic species with a single unpaired electron and a net negative charge of −

Hyperoxide oder Superoxide sind chemische Verbindungen, die das vom Sauerstoff abgeleitete Dioxid(1−)-Anion (O2−) enthalten. Der Sauerstoff hat in diesen Verbindungen die Oxidationszahl −½. Verbindungen mit dem O22−-Anion, wie H2O2 und BaO2, sindPeroxide, keine Hyperoxide.
