Abstract
On allowing Me4NOH as a methanolic solution or Et4NOH as an ethanolic solution to react with BO3H3 in ethanol, R4NOH∙2B2(OH)4 (R = Me, Et) are obtained and characterized by infrared. The subboric acid B2(OH)4 has been obtained in situ. An infinite chain structure has been suggested on the basis of infrared data. When OH.....O hydrogen bonds are considered, supramolecular architectures are obtained.
