title: Poly[(μ(5)-5-amino-isophthalato)aqua-barium].
abstract: In the title compound, [Ba(C(8)H(5)NO(4))(H(2)O)](n), the Ba(II) ion is eight-coordinated by six O atoms and one N atom from five 5-amino-isophthalate ligands and one water mol-ecule in a distorted dodeca-hedral geometry. The Ba(II) ions are connected via the ligands into a layer parallel to (011). The layers are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The coordinated water mol-ecule is involved in intra-layer O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
