Synthesis of alkali metal bis(salicilato)borates by microwave method

详细

The synthesis of lithium, sodium, and potassium bis(salicilato)borates (LiBSB, NaBSB, and KBSB) is carried out by a microwave method, whose application makes it possible to shorten the synthesis duration by 8–10 times and to obtain the product yield close to the quantitative one. The product purity and the nature of impurities are determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Additionally, the structure of the compounds is proved by the IR and NMR spectroscopy. The effect of complexing of salts with amide solvents is revealed.
