A simple and efficient way to synthesize unsolvated sodium octahydrotriborate has been developed. This method avoids the use of dangerous starting materials and significantly simplifies the reaction setup, thus enabling convenient large-scale synthesis. The structure of the unsolvated compound has been determined through powder X-ray diffraction.
