Abstract
The structure of poly-tetraaquabis(μ-Himidazole-4,5-dicarboxylato-N,O;-O′)barium(II) dihydrate, Ba(C5H3N2O4)2(H2O)4·2H2O is built of molecular sheets in which singly-deprotonated imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate [H(4,5-IDA)] bridges metal ions using its N, O bonding moiety and one oxygen atom of its second carboxylate group. Each barium(II) is coordinated by N, O bonding moieties of two ligands, two carboxylate oxygen atoms of two other ligands and four waters. The coordination number of Ba(II) is ten, and the coordination polyhedron contains fourteen faces. A network of hydrogen bonds is responsible for the stability of the crystal.
