A new coordination compound [Ba(OBPT)2(H2O)2]·H2O was obtained at room temperature by the reaction of 4,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-ol(HOBPT) with BaCl2.It was characterized by elemental analysis,FTIR,TG analysis,powder X-ray diffraction analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group,with a = 16.325(1),b = 6.7977(5),c = 24.164(2) ,β = 104.009(1),V = 2601.8(3) 3,Z =4,C26H22BaN10O5,Mr = 691.88,Dc = 1.766 g/cm3,F(000) = 1376 and μ(MoKα) = 1.587 mm-1.The final R = 0.0282 and wR = 0.0724 for 5095 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R = 0.0312 and wR = 0.0744 for all data.In the complex,the barium ion is ten-coordinated with six nitrogen atoms from two ligands,two deprotonated hydroxyl oxygen atoms from another two ligands and two coordinated water molecules to form a double stranded chain.The extensive supramolecular interac-tions lead to the formation of an infinite 2D framework.
