Tertiary alkyl hydroperoxides decompose to dialkyl peroxides in the presence of metal cations, evolving O2 gas (Klenk, H., P.H. Gotz, R. Siegmeier, and W. Mayr. 2002. Peroxy Compounds, Organic. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
Many salts catalyze exothermic decomposition of peroxides (Sanchez, J., T.N. Meyers. 2000. Peroxides and Peroxide Compounds, Organic Peroxides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons. (Online)).
Chloride salts react violently with peroxyacetic acid, evolving chlorine gas and forming explosive solids (Wienhofer, E. 1980. Chem. Ztg. 104, 146; Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 2726; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2709). Fluoride salts may react in a similar way to evolve fluorine gas.
