The crystal structure of sodium percarbonate: an unusual layered solid

Abstract: The structure of sodium percarbonate, Na2CO 3. 1½HzO2, has been solved from film-scanned data and refined toR =0.114.[Aba2, =9.224(4),b: 15.805(4),c=6.747(2)A,Z=8, d,,,=2.05, d c=2.12gcm -3 2~(Cu Kt h) = 1.54051A.] The CO s ions and H202 molecules lie in planes about 3.5 A apart, although the H202 molecules are inclined somewhat with respect to the CO 3 ions. The Na ions are midway between these molecular sheets. One of the H202 molecules is disordered between two possible orientations.

“…Significant interest has been shown in the oxalates (Pedersen, 1972a,b;Adams et al, , 1980a, phosphates (Adams & Ramdas, 1978;Oeckler & Montbrun, 2008) and sulfates Pritchard et al, 2005) of alkali metals (Adams et al, 1980a,b;Oeckler & Montbrun, 2008;Pritchard et al, 2005) and of ammonium (Pedersen, 1972a,b) and guanidinium Adams & Ramdas, 1978) cations. The structure of Na 2 CO 3 Á1.5H 2 O 2 has been determined several times under various conditions (Adams & Pritchard, 1977;Carrondo et al, 1977;Pritchard & Islam, 2003). Special attention has been paid to Na 2 CO 3 Á1.5H 2 O 2 , one of the most important industrially produced bleaching and oxidation agents (Jakob et al, 2005;McKillop & Sanderson, 2000).…”

“…A simple form of dioxygen to manipulate in the condensed phase is hydrogen peroxide, and we have chosen this molecule to begin our study. Hydrogen peroxide forms solid complexes with urea and a variety of simple salts (Adams & Pritchard, 1976;Satin, Dudarev, Dobrynina, Fykin & Zavodnik, 1976); many of these and especially the sodium carbonate salt (Adams & Pritchard, 1977) are used as bleaches. The urea complex, (H2N)2CO.…”

“…1½H202) is an industrial bleach, the structure of which was determined simultaneously by Adams & Pritchard (1977) and Carrondo, Griffith, Jones & Skapski (1977), hereafter AP and CGJS, although the latter diffractometer-data refinement was more accurate. The main interest in the © 1979 International Union of Crystallography NEUTRON PROFILE REFINEMENT structure is in the hydrogen-bonding pattern of the H20 2 molecules.…”
