Out of thin air, a rhodium complex converts molecular oxygen into hydrogen peroxide, bis(trimethylsilyl) peroxide, and methyl hydroperoxide. Intermediate η1-hydroperoxo and η1-silylperoxo, and η1-methylperoxo complexes have been isolated. Another η1-methylperoxo (see picture) and an η1-hydroperoxo complex have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
