Boric acid and its chemical relatives are pesticides that are derived from the element boron. Boron rarely occurs alone and is typically found in combination with other elements; common combinations are boric acid or borates.1 Unlike many pesticides which are synthetic compounds,2 boric acid and related pesticides are naturally occurring compounds.1 Boron compounds are widely found in rivers, s...

Zinc borates can be used as multi-functional synergistic additives with flame retardant additives in polymers. Zinc borate is white, non-hygroscopic and powder type product. The most important properties are low solubility in water and high dehydration temperature. Zinc borates dehydrate above 290°C and anhydrous zinc borate has thermal resistance about 400°C. Zinc borates can be synthesized us...

Magnesium wastes are produced by many industrial activities. This waste problem is becoming a future problem for the world. Magnesium borates have many advantages such as; high corrosion resistance, heat resistance, high coefficient of elasticity and can also be used in the production of material against radiation. Addition, magnesium borates have great potential in sectors including ceramic an...

There are more than 230 boron minerals which contain different amounts of boron oxide (B2O3) percentages. Magnesium borates are one of the boron mineral groups that have important properties of high elasticity coefficient, resistance to corrosion and high heat resistance. In this study, magnesium borate production is studied by hydrothermal synthesis method from a sodium borate mineral of tinca...

The new rare earth fluoride borates RE5(BO3)2F9 (RE = Ho, Dy) were synthesized under highpressure/high-temperature conditions of 1.5 GPa, 1250 ◦C for Dy5(BO3)2F9 and 2.5 GPa, 1200 ◦C for Ho5(BO3)2F9 in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus from the corresponding rare earth oxides, rare earth fluorides, and boron oxide. The single-crystal structure determinations have revealed that both compounds a...

Treatment of pyridines, quinoline and methylthiopyrazine with the frustrated Lewis pair TMPMgCl·BF(3) (1) leads to organotrifluoro borates which react readily with a variety of aromatic aldehydes in the absence of a transition metal catalyst.

A conceptually new, simple and practical method for the syn-nucleophilic displacement of aryl and vinyl epoxides and aryl aziridines with (substituted) phenols, using aryl borates as activating nucleophiles under neutral conditions, is reported.
