The reaction of alkali sulfates and boron oxide in oleum yielded the complexes A[B(S 2 O 7 ) 2 ] (A = Li, Na, K, NH 4 ). This way we obtained the first ammonium-containing borosulfate and we determined the crystal structure. NH 4 [B(S 2 O 7 ) 2 ] [Cc, Z = 8, a = 11.4403(2), b = 14.9439(2) c = 13.8693(2) Å] crystallizes isotyp to K[B(S 2 O 7 ) 2 ]. Thermal decomposition or treatment in vacuo resulted in compounds with composition A[B(SO 4 ) 2 ]. One-dimensional chain structures are obtained for A = Na, K, NH 4 . NH 4 [B(SO 4 ) 2 ] [P4/ncc, Z = 4, a = 9.1980(1), c = 7.4258(1) Å] and K[B(SO 4 ) 2 ] [P4/ncc, Z = 4, a = 8.9739(3), c = 7.4114(3) Å] are isotyp with H 3 O[B(SO 4 ) 2 ]. The chains
