Synthesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of a new polymorph of potassium peroxodicarbonate K2[C2O6]
摘要
Here, we report the discovery of a new crystalline form of potassium peroxodicarbonate (K2[C2O6]-II), synthesized electrochemically in a 40 wt% potassium carbonate solution at −20 °C. Structural analysis reveals a near-planar conformation with a dihedral angle of 147° across the O–O bond, contrasting with the near-perpendicular (93°) arrangement in K2[C2O6]-I. These findings demonstrate that ionic strength during crystallization significantly influences the conformation of the peroxodicarbonate anion, leading to distinct polymorphic forms.
