A layered borogermanate with three‐dimensional microporosity within the layers, K 4 [B 8 Ge 2 O 17 (OH) 2 ] (monoclinic, space group: C 2/ c ; a =12.095(2), b =6.7979(14), c =19.944(4) Å; β =93.04(3)°; V =1637.6(6) Å 3 ; Z =4), has been synthesized in a flux of potassium borate. Because of its three‐dimensional pore structure and thermal stability, the compound has the potential to eventually form nanocomposites with polymers and to be processed into thin microporous films.
