1. Introduction: Why oxygen chemistry?; 2. Redox thermodynamics for oxygen species (O[sub(3)], O[sub(2)], HOO·, O[sub(2)][sup( -- )]·, HOOH, HOO[sup( -- )], O, O[sup( -- )]·, and HO[sup( -- )]); effects of media and pH; 3. Nature of chemical bonds for oxygen in its compounds; 4. Reactivity of Hydrogen Peroxide, Alkyl Hydroperoxides, and Peracids; 5. Reactivity of oxygen radicals [HO·, RO·, HOO·, ROO·, and RC(O)O·]; 6. Reactivity of dioxygen and its activation for selective dioxygenation, mono-oxygenation, dehydrogenation, and auto-oxidation of organic substrates and metals (corrosion).

| Abstract
|
:
|
This book places oxygen on the center stage of chemistry in a manner that parallels the focus on carbon by 19th century chemists. One measure of the significance of oxygen chemistry is the greater diversity of oxygen-containing molecules than of carbon-containing molecules. One of the most important compounds is water, containing the properties of being a unique medium for biological chemistry and life, the source of all the dioxygen in the atmosphere, and the moderator of the earth's climate. Sawyer first introduces the biological origins of dioxygen and role of dioxygen in aerobic biology an.
