Abstract

Quantum mechanical calculations were performed on the primary products of electrodic redox reactions of biformylperoxide. The calculations predicted that CO2, O2, H2, (chemical equation presented), H2CO and HCOOH should be the final products of the reaction. Experiments on benzoylperoxide showed the presence of O2, (chemical equation presented) and (chemical equation presented) beside CO2, φφ and (chemical equation presented) which are also the thermal decomposition products of benzoylperoxide.
