Eight new barium methylphosphonates were prepared and described. In dependence on pH, either barium hydrogen methylphosphonates or barium methylphosphonates can be formed. In the case of barium methylphosphonates, BaCH3PO3·3H2O crystallizes from the solution at room temperature and BaCH3PO3·H2O at a temperature above 65 °C. On heating, these hydrates form two anhydrous barium methylphosphonates (α-BaCH3PO3
