In ordinary conditions, it quickly decomposes to carbon dioxide (CO2) even at 180 K (−93.1 °C), but can be detected by mass spectrometry and other techniques.[2][3]

1,2-Dioxetanedione is an intermediate in the

biradical intermediate.[6]

Recently it has been found that a high-energy intermediate in one of these reactions (between

reducing agents are removed from the system, and the reactions are carried out in an inert atmosphere.[7]
