“…Recently, strontium acetate and oxalate have been used for this purpose in different chemical-processing methods (Lee, Doi & Yuasa, 1994;Alconchel, Ulla & Lombardo, 1994;Marta, Zaharescu, Ciontea & Petrisor, 1993). There are few crystallographic studies of strontium(II) carboxylates and among those reported have been strontium(H) acetates (Trunov, Chubinidze, Efremov & Velikodnyi, 1984;Trunov, Endeladze & Efremov, 1988;Groombridge, Harris, Packer, Hursthouse & Walker, 1985) and strontium(II) oxalate (Sterling, 1965).…”
