We present magnetic properties of a spin-1 antiferromagnet BaMoP₂O₈. It crystallizes in the C2/m space group, resulting in a layered crystal structure with the triangular arrangement of the magnetic Mo⁺⁴-ions. Frustrated interaction geometry leads to a broad maximum in the magnetic susceptibility around 50 K followed by the long-range ordering at 21 K. Neutron diffraction reveals the collinear stripe order with the reduced ordered moment of 1.48 µ_B compared to 2 µ_B expected for a spin-1 ion. The effects of spatial anisotropy, spin-orbit coupling, and metal-ligand covalency will be discussed.
