Talk:Hydroperoxyl

message: Hydrogen Dioxide H2O2 is not the same as Hydroperoxyl (HO2) and in weaker forms is used as an antiseptic.
That was what I was trying to find out more about when I was wrongly redirected to this page 201.252.86.145 (talk) 23:35, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think what happened was that what you searched for was not clear. You should have searchde for dihydrogen dioxide (two hydrogens), not hydrogen dioxide (one hydrogen). By the way, H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, not hydrogen dioxide or dihydrogen dioxide. YOSF0113 (talk - contributions) 04:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:   Why does Hydrogen Dioxide redirect to here? 

message: This article reads like the opening of some abstract to a thesis or a persuasive essay.  Where exactly is the "here" where it is argued that HO2 is underepresented?  Also, if HO2 is actually researched insufficiently, why do we have an article about it, especially one that claims to be discussing an under-researched topic in science.  Frankly, this sounds like original research, which doesn't belong on Wikipedia.71.112.149.40 05:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's the point of this article? 

message: The first result on google for "ho2" is the research paper this abstract is copied from.
"HO2*: the forgotten radical" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12042065
It seems in appropriate to copy directly the entire abstract, but I dont want to remove the article as I have no information to replace it with and a little plagiarized info seems better than no info at all  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.227.210.64 (talk) 14:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia: The protonation/deprotonation equilibrium exhibits a pKa of 4.88; consequently, about 0.3% of any superoxide present in the cytosol of a typical cell is in the protonated form. 
Chemical Abstracts (summary for HO2·: the forgotten radical by De Grey, Aubrey D. N. J. From DNA and Cell Biology (2002), 21(4), 251-257): "the protonation/deprotonation equil. exhibits a pKa of around 4.8.  Consequently, about 0.3% of any superoxide present in the cytosol of a typical cell is in the protonated form."

thread_title: Plagiarism

message: The character of the O-O bond in dioxygen (O2, molecular oxygen) is very important to its reactions and behavior. I'm guessing the character of the bond in HO2 has been studied, I'm curious whether it is very much a single bond, or perhaps like a 1.5-order bond with the unpaired electron in an antibonding orbital, or something?
