A series of light alkali metal organoperoxides [MOOR] (M=Li, Na, K; R= t Bu, CMe 2 Ph) were isolated in mononuclear form, aided by the tetradentate and neutral NNNN‐type macrocycle Me 4 TACD (L; Me 4 [12]aneN 4 =1,4,7,10‐tetramethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane) and strong hydrogen bonds from additional ROOH molecules. The Na and K compounds are characterized by short O−H⋅⋅⋅O contacts, in the case of the Na derivative as short as 2.41 Å.
