Abstract

The hydrogen-bonding ability of peroxides R3MOOM'R'3 having M = C, Si and Ge with phenol in CCl4 is analyzed. The oxygen basicity of the R3MOOM'R'3 with M = C and Si is indicated to be increased over the ability of the electronic effect of R3C- and R3Si- groups probably due to the interaction between lone electron pairs located at the oxygen atoms.
