Rubidium peroxide is rubidium's peroxide with the chemical formula Rb2O2.
Production
Rubidium peroxide can be produced by rapidly oxidizing rubidium in liquid ammonia at −50°C.[1]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{2\ Rb + O_2 \ \xrightarrow{-50\;^\circ\text{C}}\ Rb_2O_2 } }[/math]
It can also be produced by pyrolysis of rubidium superoxide in vacuum.[1]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{2\ RbO_2 \ \xrightarrow{290\;^\circ\text{C}}\ Rb_2O_2 + O_2} }[/math]
Properties
Rubidium peroxide is a colourless to light yellow solid with the orthorhombic crystal structure.[1]
