Abstract: The title compound [systematic name: dimethylammonium 1,1'-spiro-bis(3,5,-dihydroxy-2,4,6-trioxa-1,3,5-triboracyclohexane)borate], C₂H₈N⁺·B₅H₄O₁₀^-, contains the [B₅O₆(OH)₄]^- tetrahydropentaborate anion, which possesses typical geometrical parameters, accompanied by dimethylammonium cations. The packing of these species is influenced by cation-to-anion N-HO and anion-to-anion O-HO hydrogen bonds.
