Mars Oxidant: Proof of Concept and Quantitative Analysis
2000
Textbooks make us believe that in every silicate mineral, on Earth, Mars and elsewhere, the oxygen anions exist in just one oxidation state, namely 2(-) as in 0(-2). Yet, a surprisingly large fraction of the oxygen anions in rock-forming minerals may exist in a more oxidized form, namely the 1- state, as 0(-) in peroxy. This has far-reaching consequences for understanding the Mars soil oxidant and its biocompatibility.
