Barium L-tartrate, Ba2+ . C4H4O62- has been grown in silica-gel medium for the first time and its structure has been solved. A new coordination of the cation with the tartrate anion is observed. The cation exhibits ninefold coordination without the presence of water molecules and the tartrate groups are linked through Ba...O contacts to form a three-dimensional network.
