  "term": "Hydroperoxides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds containing the hydroperoxy group, -OOH, attached to an organic radical. These compounds are derivatives of hydrogen peroxide where one hydrogen atom is replaced by an organyl group. They are characterized by the presence of an oxygen-oxygen single bond, making them susceptible to homolytic cleavage.",
