Abstract
In the title compound, NH4+·C6H8BO6−, the trivalent boron is tetrahedrally bonded to four O atoms of the two lactate ions having a chiral carbon in each. Two of the O atoms are covalently bonded [1.4259 (13) Å] to the boron, while there is an extended B—O bonds [1.5177 (14) Å] between the boron and each of the other two O atoms. There are distortions in the tetrahedral angles around boron ranging from 104.47 (5) to 115.35 (15)°. The structure is stabilized by a network of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the H atoms of the ammonium cation and the O atoms of the borodilactate anion. The UV–vis transmittance window of this non-linear optical crystal is in the range 240–1250 nm.
