“…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).…”
