Beryllium Peroxide

Description

Beryllium peroxide is expected to have a molecular formula of Be(OH)OOH. There is no experimental proof documented in the literature for the existence of any beryllium peroxide compound. All recent pertinent preparative attempts described in such work, using a range of beryllium salts with various peroxides as reagents under mild conditions, were equally unsuccessful. Beryllium peroxide and similar salts have not been described in the literature and they are not available commercially.
