Would it be appropriate to include some information of oxygen complexes with organic materials such as solvents? Cyclohexane, Decahydronaphthalene, and ethers all form dioxygen complexes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.108.124 (talk) 03:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The term dioxygen complex refers to coordination complexes that bind O2. It is sort of jargon. I dont think that organic solvents form O2 adducts, although many form hydroperoxides. Some organic compounds form Diels-Alder-like adducts, but that information is probably best covered under organic peroxide.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:53, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
