The complex [Ba 3 (sip) 2 (H 2 O) 9 ]·H 2 O (1) (NaH 2 sip = 5-sulfoisophthalic acid sodium) was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural determination reveals that the asymmetric unit in 1 contains two crystallographically independent Ba II atoms. The Ba1 atom is eight-coordinate with distorted monocapped pentagonal bipyramidal arrangement, whereas the Ba2 atom is ten-coordinated with bicapped tetragonal prismatic arrangement. The two carboxylate groups of sip 3adopt different coordination modes,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
