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 −

Een superoxide is een chemische verbinding die het superoxide-ion bevat. Naast het superoxide-ion bevat de verbinding in de regel een alkali- of aardalkalimetaal-ion. Enkele voorbeelden: * Natriumsuperoxide: NaO2 * Kaliumsuperoxide: KO2 * Lithiumsuperoxide: LiO2 * : Ca(O2)2 * : Ba(O2)2 Superoxiden zijn reactieve en sterke reductoren, reactiever dan peroxiden.
