Mars Oxidant: Proof of Concept and Quantitative AnalysisTextbooks make us believe that in every silicate mineral, on Earth, Mars and elsewhere, the oxygen anions exist in just one oxidation state, namely 2(-) as in 0(-2). Yet, a surprisingly large fraction of the oxygen anions in rock-forming minerals may exist in a more oxidized form, namely the 1- state, as 0(-) in peroxy. This has far-reaching consequences for understanding the Mars soil oxidant and its biocompatibility.
