Abstract

The syntheses and single-crystal structures of Ba2(C2O4)(H2PO3)2 (1) and C2H10N2•Ba(H2O)2(HC2O4)4 (2) are described. Compound 1is a three-dimensional mixed-anion framework containing BaO9 coordination polyhedra, which approximate to monocapped square anti-prisms: the connectivity of the BaO9 units via edges and triangular faces leads to a sheet structure. The oxalate ion in 1is substantially twisted about its C-C bond [dihedral angle between the CO2 groups = 33.8 (3)°]. Compound 2is a molecular salt containing ethylenediammonium dications and [Ba(HC2O4)4(H2O)2]2- dianions, which are linked by O-HL⋯O and N-HL⋯O hydrogen bonds. The BaO10 coordination polyhedron can be described as a distorted pentagonal anti-prism.
