Octahydrotriborate is the boron hydride anion B₃H₈⁻. It forms a variety of salts that are colorless and air-stable. The tetrabutylammonium salt is soluble in organic solvents such as acetonitrile and methylene chloride. The anion is an intermediate is the synthesis of various higher boron hydrides, such as pentaborane(9). B₃H₈⁻ can be viewed as the conjugate base of triborane B₃H₉.
