Lithium superoxide is an unstable inorganic salt with formula Li O 2. A radical compound, it can be produced at low temperature in matrix isolation experiments, or in certain nonpolar , non-protic solvents .
Crystal structure of potassium superoxide. Lithium superoxide (LiO 2) has only been isolated in matrix isolation at 15 K. Sodium superoxide (NaO 2) is a yellow-orange solid that melts at 551.7 °C. It is made by the high-pressure oxidation of sodium peroxide. Potassium superoxide (KO 2) is a yellow solid that
Lithium oxide (Li 2 O) or lithia is an inorganic chemical compound. It is a white solid. Although not specifically important, many materials are assessed on the basis of their Li 2 O content. For example, the Li 2 O content of the principal lithium mineral spodumene (LiAlSi 2 O 6) is 8.03%. [2]
It is commonly used as Li-ion source in electrolytes for Li-ion batteries as a safer alternative to commonly used lithium hexafluorophosphate. [3] It is made up of one Li cation and a bistriflimide anion.
Lithium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Li 2 O 2. Lithium peroxide is a white solid, and unlike most other alkali metal peroxides, it is nonhygroscopic . Because of its high oxygen:mass and oxygen:volume ratios, the solid has been used to remove CO 2 from and release O 2 to the atmosphere in spacecraft .
Suboxides are a class of oxides wherein the electropositive element is in excess relative to the “normal” oxides. [1] When the electropositive element is a metal, the compounds are sometimes referred to as “metal-rich”.
Lithium monoxide anion (LiO −) is a superbase existing in the gas phase. It was the strongest known base until 2008, when the isomeric diethynylbenzene dianions were determined to have a higher proton affinity. The methanide ion CH − 3 was the strongest known base before lithium monoxide anion was discovered. [2] LiO − has a proton ...
Lithium methoxide is a compound with formula LiCH 3 O. It is the lithium salt of methanol . Like other alkali metal alkoxides, lithium methoxide adopts a polymeric structure [ 1 ] Its solubility in common polar aprotic solvents like THF is low; however, it is soluble in methanol and is available commercially as a 10% solution.
