Crystals of K[B(AnErytH(-2)2] x 2 H2O (AnEryt = 1,4-anhydroerythritol) form from aqueous alkaline solutions containing a double molar amount of diol over borate. The spiro-type monoanions are the main borate species in the mother liquors of crystallisation according to 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Ribofuranosides form analogous borate esters using their 1,4-anhydroerythritol core. Crystals of ...

Nearly 100% 5'-position selectivity of transglucosylation from maltodextrin to pyridoxine (PN) by cells of Verticillium dahliae TPU 4900 was observed when the reaction was carried out with borate. The same effect of borate was observed not only during synthesis of pyridoxine 5'-alpha-D-glucoside by partially purified enzyme of this strain but also during synthesis of this compound by other micr...

We have studied the effect of different chemical bonding structures of boron atoms on the second-order nonlinear optical behavior of borate crystals from the chemical bond viewpoint. Several typical borate crystals, including LiB3O5, b-BaB2O4, BiB3O6, NdAl3(BO3)4, Ca4LnO(BO3)3, K[B5O6(OH)4]·2H2O, Eu2B5O9Cl and Ca2B5O9Br, with different chemical bonding structures of boron atoms are investigated...

Isotherms for the adsorption of KCl in PVOH-borate hydrogel was studied at 303 K by determining the amount of potassium and chloride ions adsorbed in PVOH-borate hydrogel using ion exchange chromatography and potentiometric titrations respectively. Experimental data was tested for Frendulich’s, Langmuir’s, Temkin’s and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms equations. The adsorption data follows isothe...

Zinc borate is an important boron compound that can be used as multi-functional flame retardant additive due to its high dehydration temperature property. In this study, the raw materials of ZnSO4.7H2O, NaOH and H3BO3 were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and used in the synthesis of zinc borates. The synthesis parameters were set to 1...

The boron in plant cell walls, which is water-insoluble and in the solid state, is solubilized by pectinase digestion to give a dimeric rhamnogalacturonan II-borate (dRG-II-B) complex. To clarify the nondestructive structure of boron present in plant cell walls (as represented by sugar beet fiber), we performed 192- and 96-MHz 11B solid state NMR measurements. The use of a high field magnet fre...

A study has been made to investigate the detection sensitivity of Borate Glass for the heavily ionizing fission fragment tracks. The latent damage tracks produced by fission fragments in Borate Glass, with and without Aluminium Oxide as an additive, have been studied under a high resolution scanning electron microscope. Tracks have been found and studied only in the Borate Glass samples with no...

The title complex, [Ag(C(18)H(15)P)(4)]BF(4), was prepared by the reaction of silver(I) tetra-fluorido-borate and triphenyl-phosphane in the presence of 1,2-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl-ene. The Ag(I) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by four P atoms from triphenyl-phosphane (PPh(3)) ligands. Due to symmetry, the tetra-fluorido-borate anion is disordered over three positions (each with one third oc...

In the presence of polyborates (detected by (11)B-NMR) the formation of a weak Eu(III) borate complex (lg β11 ~ 2, estimated) was observed by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). This complex is a precursor for the formation of a solid Eu(III) borate species. The formation of this solid in solution was investigated by TRLFS as a function of the total boron concentratio...

We have synthesized the first examples of radical-cation salts of BEDT-TTF with chiral borate anions, [B(malate)2](-), prepared from either enantiopure or racemic bidentate malate ligands. In the former case only one of two diastereoisomers of the borate anion is incorporated, while for the hydrated racemic salt one racemic pair of borate anions containing a R and a S malate ligand is incorpora...
