Herein, a new congruently melting mixed‐anion compound Cs 4 B 4 O 3 F 10 has been characterized as the first fluorooxoborate with [BF 4 ] involving heteroanionic units. Compound Cs 4 B 4 O 3 F 10 possesses two highly fluorinated anionic clusters and therefore its formula can be expressed as Cs 3 (B 3 O 3 F 6 ) ⋅ Cs(BF 4 ). The influence of [BF 4 ] units on micro‐symmetry and structural evolution was discussed based on the parent compound. More importantly, Cs 4 B 4 O 3 F 10 shows the lowest melting point among all the available borates and thus sets a new record for such system. This work is of great significance to enrich and tailor the structure of borates using perfluorinated [BF 4 ] units.
