They do indeed exist, but not as expected : binary peroxide compounds of phosphorus. Whereas the peroxide P 2 O 6 described by Schenk in 1937 still remains a presumption, the reaction of phosphorus( III ) oxide with ozone at low temperature has led to the tetraozonide P 4 O 18 (see picture), the first defined binary peroxo compound of phosphorus. This is the oxygen‐richest phosphorus compound known to date, and possibly could be used as a source for the generation of singlet oxygen under very mild conditions.
