By using high‐resolution X‐ray powder diffraction , we have determined the first crystal structure of a peroxodicarbonate compound, synthesized by electrocrystallization at −20°C. The constitution of the peroxodicarbonate anion was established and all structural details, including its conformation (see picture), can be understood qualitatively in terms of classical concepts of the chemical bond.
