It was found that in acidic media hydrogen peroxide is a weak ligand with respect to Ge(IV), Sn(IV), Sb(V), Te(VI) and other p-block elements and does not interact with them in the presence of water in the system. On the contrary, deprotonation of hydrogen peroxide and formation of corresponding peroxo- and hydroperoxo-complexes occur in basic media. Sols of peroxo-complexes of p-block elements were obtained and characterised, which are proposed to be used for the preparation of functional nanomaterials of different composition and morphology.

Approaches to the synthesis of stable xerogels and crystals with hydrogen peroxide have been developed. It has been established that each hydrogen peroxide molecule in adducts (peroxosolvates) always forms two hydrogen bonds as a proton donor.
It was shown that second-coordination sphere hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the stabilization of H 2 O 2 coordination. The non-covalent interactions of H 2 O 2 ligands not only contribute to the total energy of the system but also increase the basicity of the H 2 O 2 ligand, which enhances coordination bonding. This explains why H 2 O 2 coordination, despite being impossible in aqueous solution under equilibrium conditions, is common in nature, such as in oxygenases.
