Peroxycarbonate refers to a class of compounds containing the peroxycarbonate anion (C2O6²⁻), which consists of carbonate groups (CO3) connected by peroxy (–O-O–) linkages. One of the most studied examples is sodium percarbonate, which is a solid form of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that also releases carbonate anions when dissolved in water.
