Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Li+·C6H8BO6-, consists of two lithium borodilactate moieties. Li+ cations are tetracoordinated by O atoms of the borodilactate anions. The Li-O distances range from 1.907  (5) to 2.050  (5)  Å. The trivalent boron is tetrahedrally coordinated by four O atoms of the borodilactate moieties. Boron makes two short and two long covalent bonds with O atoms, and the distances range from 1.430  (3) to 1.507  (3)  Å. This compound exhibits non-linear optical properties, combined with good chemical stability.
