Abstract
The finding that triggering the redox activity of oxygen ions within the lattice of transition metal oxides can boost the performances of materials used in energy storage and conversion devices such as Li-ion batteries or oxygen evolution electrocatalysts has recently spurred intensive and innovative research in the field of energy. While experimental and theoretical efforts have been critical in understanding the role of oxygen nonbonding states in the redox activity of oxygen ions, a clear picture of the redox chemistry of the oxygen species formed upon this oxidation process is still missing. This can be, in part, explained by the complexity in stabilizing and studying these species once electrochemically formed. In this work, we alleviate this difficulty by studying the phase Ba5Ru2O11, which contains peroxide O22- groups, as oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst and Li-ion battery material. Combining physical characterization and electrochemical measurements, we demonstrate that peroxide groups can easily be oxidized at relatively low potential, leading to the formation of gaseous dioxygen and to the instability of the oxide. Furthermore, we demonstrate that, owing to the stabilization at high energy of peroxide, the high-lying energy of the empty σ* antibonding O-O states limits the reversibility of the electrochemical reactions when the O22-/O2- redox couple is used as redox center for Li-ion battery materials or as OER redox active sites. Overall, this work suggests that the formation of true peroxide O22- states are detrimental for transition metal oxides used as OER catalysts and Li-ion battery materials. Rather, oxygen species with O-O bond order lower than 1 would be preferred for these applications.

Abstract
Open-shell solids exhibit a plethora of intriguing physical phenomena that arise from a complex interplay of charge, spin, orbital, and spin-state degrees of freedom. Comprehending these phenomena is an indispensable prerequisite for developing improved functional materials. This type of understanding can be achieved, on the one hand, by experimental and theoretical investigations into known systems, or by synthesizing new solids displaying unprecedented structural and/or electronic features. β-Ag3 RuO4 may serve as such a model system because it possesses a remarkable anionic structure, consisting of tetrameric polyoxoanions (Ru4 O16 )(12-) , and is an embedded fragment of a 2D trigonal MO2 lattice. The notorious frustration of antiferromagnetic (AF) exchange couplings on such lattices is thus lifted, and instead strong AF occurs within the oligomeric anion, where only one exchange path remains frustrated among the relevant six. The strong magnetic anisotropy of the [Ru4 O16 ](12-) ion, and the effectively orbital nature of its net magnetic moment, implies that this anion may reveal the properties of a single-molecule magnet if well-diluted in a diamagnetic matrix.
