Popis: The existence of three different modifications of anhydrous calcium oxalate is reported since decades. Their crystal structures, however, remained unclear, yet. In the present work the crystal structure of the so-called β-modification was revealed by a combination of atomistic computer simulations and Rietveld refinements of the X-ray powder pattern. No indication for polymorphism was obtained.
