Highlights: [•] New borate–malate crystals NaB(DL-C4H4O5)2 and CsB(DL-C4H4O5)2⋅H2O have been grown. [•] They display diverse framework geometries attributable to the size of the cations. [•] NaB(DL-C4H4O5)2 crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2. [•] Both crystals have absorption edges about 220nm in the UV region. [•] NaB(DL-C4H4O5)2 exhibits a NLO efficiency of 2times that of KDP (KH2PO4) standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
