In inorganic chemistry, beryllium peroxide is the salt of beryllium ions and peroxide ions. It is not stable under standard conditions, but stabilizes at low temperatures or high pressures.
As early as 1929, Perkins observed that beryllium peroxide formed a puzzling lacuna amongst the alkaline earth peroxides, as it failed to result from salt metathesis of dialkylberyllium compounds and ethereal perhydrol.[1] In the 1960s, Soviet scientists reported the formation of beryllium peroxide from ozone and beryllium hydroxide suspended in freon-12 at −65 °C.[2]
