On borate ionization, hydrolysis issue
It may be that this citn. will be good enough, but something deeper would be nice:

A. Earnshaw & Norman Greenwood, 1997. Chemistry of the Elements, 2nd Edn. Butterworth-Heinemann, pp. 203-205. [ ISBN13 978-0750633659 ]

The Raman information cited under boric acid may also help, buit that is just to the Jolly text, and without page number, if I recall.

Tetraalkylborates, etc
Feel like the existence of R4B-, which I as an organic chemist know as a borate, should be mentioned somewhere. I'm not sure how to fit this in though... I'll give it a try. Re: above - I reckon Greenwood and Earnshaw is a solid enough reference. 98.222.61.249 (talk) 04:48, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Cyclic triborate
Can someone elaborate on the structure of cyclic [B3O6]2-? To me, the formal charges of the atoms are of special interest. The formulas NaBO2 and KBO2 puzzle me as well. Imho, the charge of the cyclic ion should be (-3) based on those formulas. Simon de Danser (talk) 23:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
