Tetrafluoroborates, Tetracyanoborates, Tetrahydroborates, Difluoro(oxalato)borates [Metallic Salts] — this category gathers inorganic salts based on boron anions -- tetrafluoroborate, tetracyanoborate, tetrahydroborate (borohydride), and difluoro(oxalato)borate -- which serve as metal ion sources with weakly coordinating anions as well as hydride reducing agents in inorganic and organic chemical reactions.
Sodium and lithium borohydride in this category are widely used as selective reducing agents for carbonyl groups in organic synthesis, while silver, copper, or lithium tetrafluoroborate salts function as cation sources with non-coordinating anions for transition metal catalysis and coordination chemistry reactions. Lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate is also studied by electrochemistry researchers as an electrolyte salt in experimental lithium-ion battery systems.
Examples of products in this collection: TCI S0480 16940-66-2 Sodium Borohydride, TCI C2410 38465-60-0 Copper(II) Tetrafluoroborate (ca. 45% in Water), TCI S0446 14104-20-2 Silver Tetrafluoroborate, TCI L0133 14283-07-9 Lithium Tetrafluoroborate, TCI P2565 14075-53-7 Potassium Tetrafluoroborate, TCI L0186 16949-15-8 Lithium Borohydride (ca. 4mol/L in Tetrahydrofuran), TCI P2168 261356-49-4 Potassium Tetracyanoborate, TCI L0370 409071-16-5 Lithium Difluoro(oxalato)borate.
Pay attention to physical form (solution in water, tetrahydrofuran, or solid), molar concentration for borohydride solutions, and purity and water content, which affect reducing activity and boron salt stability. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
