Borax-unit-cell-3D-balls
Ball-and-stick model of the unit cell of borax ("sodium tetraborate decahydrate"), Na2B4O7·10H2O, better described as Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O. Boron is pink, oxygen is red, hydrogen is white, and sodium is lilac. The structure includes 8 water molecules for each tetraborate anion (not shown, for clarity).
Neutron diffraction data from H. A. Levy and G. C. Lisensky (December 1978). "Crystal structures of sodium sulfate decahydrate (Glauber's salt) and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax). Redetermination by neutron diffraction". Acta. Cryst. B 34 (12): 3502-3510. DOI:10.1107/S0567740878011504.
The anion's formula is [ B4O5(OH)42- ]. A refined structure was published in
