Hydrogen peroxide molecule (Fig. 1a) is a simplest chiral molecule geometry of which is non- invariant with respect to the coordinate inversion transformation (X,Y,Z) → (X, Y, −Z).
How is H2O2 chiral?
Our key emphasis is that hydrogen peroxide is chiral in structure, too. It is the simplest such molecule, exhibiting axial chirality due to trans and cis potential barriers to internal rotation (Hunt et al. 1965), and thus existing as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images.
What is H2O2 structure?
The structure of hydrogen peroxide is non-planar. H2O2 has an open book structure with O – O spins. The dihedral angle is 111°. The O-O bond length is 145.8 pm and the O-H bond length is 98.8 pm(which is equal to 9.88 × 10-13 m).
