catena-Poly[sodium(I)-mu-tetraethoxyborato].
The title compound, [Na(C8H20BO4)]n, has twofold crystallographic symmetry, with the Na+ cations bound by four O atoms [Na-O=2.251 (3) A]. The tetraethoxyborate anion acts as a bridging ligand to form one-dimensional polymers running along the twofold crystal axis. The crystal was treated as a racemic twin.
