Abstract
We evaluated by quantum calculations the properties of pyrite-oxygen species (FeS2O)12 that can appear in the first stages of the oxidation process of pyrite with dissolved oxygen. The calculations were made with the Amsterdam Density Functional software. The obtained results suggest that (FeS2O)12 can be formed only after the dissociation of the oxygen molecule into much more reactive species.
