Pure samples of colorless, air‐stable Ba(BO2OH) crystals were obtained from Ba(NO3)2 and H3BO3 under the ultra‐alkaline conditions of a KOH hydroflux at about 250 °C. The product formation depends on the water‐base molar ratio and the molar ratio of the starting materials. B(OH)3 acts as a proton donor (Brønsted acid) rather than a hydroxide acceptor (Lewis acid). Ba(BO2OH) crystallizes in the non‐centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P212121. Hydrogen bonds connect the almost planar (BO2OH)2− anions, which are isostructural to HCO3−, into a syndiotactic chain. IR and Raman spectroscopy confirm the presence of hydroxide groups, which are involved in weak hydrogen bonds. Upon heating in air to about 450 °C, Ba(BO2OH) dehydrates to Ba2B2O5. Moreover, the non‐centrosymmetric structure of Ba(BO2OH) crystals was verified with power‐dependent confocal Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy indicating large conversion efficiencies in ambient atmosphere.
