Bis(barium disaccharinate triglyme)

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.
