Abstract: | In the polymeric title compound, Na2(C4H12BO4)2(CH4O)2]n, the two independent sodium cations are bound by five O atoms. All the O atoms of one tetramethoxyborate anion bind cations, forming a tetrameric cluster around a tetragonal inversion centre Na—O = 2.2777 (18)–2.3907 (16) Å]. Two methanol O atoms bridge the two Na atoms Na—O = 2.3590 (15)–2.4088 (18) Å] and provide the hydrogen‐bonding H atoms. The second tetramethoxyborate anion provides two O atoms to one Na atom mean Na—O = 2.31 (2) Å] and two O atoms as donors for crosslinking hydrogen bonds to adjacent tetramers, which complete the three‐dimensional packing. The crystal was a treated as a racemic twin. |
