Inelastic incoherent neutron scattering study of the molecular properties of pure hydrogen peroxide and its water mixtures of different concentration

We have investigated the spectra of shock-frozen H{sub 2}O{sub 2}–H{sub 2}O mixtures across the full composition range 99.1%–0.0% H{sub 2}O{sub 2}. In contrast to literature reports, we find that intermediate compositions (30%–70% H{sub 2}O{sub 2}) freeze to a solid solution rather than phase separating, which only occurs on annealing to just below the melting point. We have fully characterised the dihydrate H{sub 2}O{sub 2}·2H{sub 2}O (48.6% H{sub 2}O{sub 2}) for the first time and shown that its spectrum can account for the features previously observed on the surface of a Au/TiO{sub 2} catalyst.
