Dibenzoyl peroxide Chemical

Dibenzoyl peroxide is a peroxide compound that can easily decompose and produce free radicals due to its special structure. This feature has made it a useful material in many chemical and industrial processes. Dibenzoyl peroxide has a peroxide bond (-O-O-) connecting two benzoyl groups (C₆H₅CO). This bond is one of the weakest bonds in the molecular structure, which is why this substance is easily decomposed under heat or light and produces free radicals.
