Synthesis and structure of ammonium bis(malonato)borate
In the title salt, NH<sub>4</sub> <sup>+</sup>·[B(C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>-</sup>, the boron atom is chelated by two malonate ligands in a bidentate fashion, resulting in a BO<sub>4</sub> tetra-hedron with both chelate rings adopting shallow boat conformations. The extended structure features five N-H⋯O and three C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, accounting for approximately 69.9% of the total inter-molecular inter-actions.
