dc.description.abstract	The authors of the title paper (Mater. Res. Express 6 (2019) 116213) claim to have grown a nickel boro phthalate (NBP) crystal by the slow evaporation method. A critical analysis of the paper reveals that the so-called NBP is an improperly characterized material. A reinvestigation of the crystal growth reaction has been performed to unambiguously characterize the product. In this letter to the Editor, it is proved that nickel boro phthalate neither contains nickel nor phthalate but is, in fact, boric acid.	en_US
