The structure of [B 6 H 9 NaO 14 , H 3 BO 3 , 6H 2 O] was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and further analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy and differential thermal/thermogravimetric analysis. The asymmetric unit contains Na–O polyhedra (distorted octahedron), [B 6 O 8 (OH) 3 ] – fundamental building blocks, one free water molecule and one free H 3 BO 3 molecule. In the hexaborate anion, three B 3 O 3 rings are linked by a common oxygen atom with five trigonal and one tetrahedral boron atoms. The hexaborate group is also linked to the oxygenated environment of the sodium atom by three other six‐membered rings, each of which involve two boron atoms, three oxygen atoms, and sodium as the joint atom.
