The crystal structure of [Ba(C7H4NO3S)2(C8H18O4)]2 has been determined at 150 K. The structure contains dimers of barium dissaccharinate, in which each barium dication is surrounded by three saccharinate anions and one triglyme molecule. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent saccharinate anions, of which one is coordinated to the barium dication by both sulfonyl O atoms, whereas both are coordinated via their amide groups. With four additional contacts to the triglyme O atoms, the Ba2+ centres achieve a tenfold coordination sphere.
