Abstract: The title compound, [Ba₂(C₉H₈NO₃)₄(H₂O)₃], has two Ba atoms and four hippurate ligands in the asymmetric unit of the structure, along with three water molecules. The coordination polyhedra around the two Ba atoms can be described as one involving nine O atoms in a distorted monocapped square antiprism and the other involving ten O atoms in a pentagonal pyramid placed over a distorted rectangle. There are numerous N-HO and O-HO bonds in the crystal structure.
