  2. Sodium borate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_borate

    Sodium borate is a generic name for any salt of sodium with an anion consisting of boron and oxygen, and possibly hydrogen, or any hydrate thereof. It can be seen as a hydrated sodium salt of the appropriate boroxy acid , although the latter may not be a stable compound.

  3. Borax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax

    Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k əl /) and tincar (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k ər /)) is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na 2 H 20 B 4 O 17. [1] [a] It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to make a basic solution.

  4. Borate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate

    Common borate salts include sodium metaborate (NaBO 2) and borax. Borax is soluble in water, so mineral deposits only occur in places with very low rainfall. Extensive deposits were found in Death Valley and shipped with twenty-mule teams from 1883 to 1889. In 1925, deposits were found at Boron, California on the edge of the Mojave Desert.

  6. Sodium perborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_perborate

    Sodium perborate is also used as an oxidizing reagent in organic synthesis. For example, it converts thioethers into sulfoxides and sulfones. [16] Another use of sodium perborate in organic synthesis is as a convenient alternative to H 2 O 2, for example in the 2 step conversion of an aryl halide to a phenol (the first step is a Miyaura ...

  7. Trisodium orthoborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisodium_orthoborate

    It is a sodium salt of the orthoboric acid B(OH) 3. The compound is also called trisodium orthoborate, sodium orthoborate, or just sodium borate. However, "sodium orthoborate" has been used also for a compound with formula Na 4 B 2 O 5, which would correspond to an equimolar mixture of sodium metaborate NaBO 2 and trisodium borate proper.

  8. Disodium octaborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disodium_octaborate

    Disodium octaborate is a borate of sodium, a chemical compound of sodium, boron, and oxygen — a salt with elemental formula Na 2 B 8 O 13 or (Na +) 2 [B 8 O 13] 2−, also written as Na 2 O·4B 2 O 3. It is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water.

    Unlike silicates, boron minerals never contain boron with coordination number greater than four. A typical motif is exemplified by the tetraborate anions of the common mineral borax, shown at left. The formal negative charge of the tetrahedral borate center is balanced by metal cations in the minerals, such as the sodium (Na +) in borax. [1]
