Single-crystal neutron-diffraction data with full-matrix least-squares refinements have yielded precise locations for all atoms (for the H atoms in particular), in both compounds. Hydrogen bonding with H atom sites disordered with equal occupancy, as previously postulated to be the source of zero-point entropy in the sulfate, is quantitatively verified. A thermally excited librational mode of the sulfate ion involving a rearrange-ment of hydrogen bonding has been found. The two structures, which have closely similar chains of Na ions with coordinated water molecules, are compared in detail. Measures of disagreement are: for the sulfate, R (F2)= 0.082 for 1750 F2> a (F2); for the borate, R (F2)= 0.060 for 1837 F2> o (F2).
