Tetrahedral distortion alkyl hydroperoxides

A survey of crystal structures of 29 compounds (Table 8), in which the alkyl hydroperoxide anions serves as ligand to metal ions, transition metal ions or group 13-17 elements, provides a mean 0—0 bond length of 1.46 0.03 A, an O—O—C angle of 109 2.1° and a M—O—O angle of 112 6.9°. More specialized aspects that deserve to be addressed separately refer to the nature of the M—O bond, the magnitude of the dihedral angle M—O—O—C and the tetrahedral distortion of the peroxide bound C atom.
