Abstract
The reaction of barium carbonate or hydroxide with oxydiacetic acid leads to the self-assembly of two barium oxydiacetate polymers in good yield: [Ba(oda) · H 2 O] n ( 1 ) and [Ba(Hoda) 2 ] n ( 2 ). The products have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The central barium atom in each mononuclear fragment is nine-coordinate in 1 and 10-coordinate in 2 . These fragments are bridged by carboxylato groups in anti–anti conformation and through H-bonds bonding interactions forming complex 3D networks.
