Abstract

Abstract : Hydrogen peroxide–PVP used in tooth whitening involves a chain of hydrogen bonded H2 O2 molecules that can be selectively substituted by water molecules. Abstract : The structure of the commercially important polyvinylpyrrolidone–hydrogen peroxide complex can be understood by reference to the co-crystal structure of a hydrogen peroxide complex and its mixed hydrates of a two-monomer unit model compound, bisVP·2H2 O2 . The mixed hydrates involve selective water substitution into one of the two independent hydrogen peroxide binding sites.
