Caesiumhyperoxid (obsolete Caesiumsuperoxid) is a chemical compound of cesium and one of the hyperoxides , thus has O 2 - as anion . It is an orange solid.

Extraction and presentation

Cesium hyperoxide is formed when cesium is burned in excess of oxygen .

properties

Like potassium and rubidium hyperoxide, cesium hyperoxide crystallizes in the calcium carbide structure. In contrast to oxides , cesium hyperoxide has direct oxygen-oxygen bonds.

In water, cesium hyperoxide disproportionates to oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and cesium hydroxide .

The standard enthalpy of formation of cesium  hyperoxide is ΔH f 0 = −295 kJ / mol.

use

Cesium hyperoxide is a possible starting compound for the production of cesium ozonide . For this purpose, the hyperoxide is reacted with ozone .
