Superoxide is a reactive anion and free radical, formally O2-. It is produced most easily by burning rubidium or caesium in oxygen. Other superoxides, including potassium superoxide, are also known. It has an unpaired electron, is not particularly stable, and spontaneously decomposes into peroxide and oxygen over time. In phagocytes, superoxide is produced in large quantities by the enzyme NADPH oxidase for use in oxygen-dependent killing mechanisms. ...
