Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5 or LBO) is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal discovered and developed by FIRSM, CAS (Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Rock fort's LBO is featured by broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm (see Figure 1); high optical homogeneity (dn 10-6/cm) and being free of inclusion; relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times that of KDP); high damage threshold; wide acceptance angle and small walk-off; type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range; spectral NCPM near 1300nm. Rock fort offers LBO of strict quality control; large crystal size up to 30x30x30mm3 and maximum length of 60mm; AR-coated, mounts and re-polished; a large quantity of crystals in stock; fast delivery(10 days for polished only, 15 days for AR-coated).

Lithium Borate

2-Boronic acid or 2-boronate of oxazole, thiazole, imidazole and benzimidazole etc are either not known in literature or very low yielding. These boronic acid or boronates would have been an excellent candidate for Suzuki coupling reaction with appropriate halides to build heteroaromatics with two heteroatoms. We have developed a method to prepare lithium borate complex of oxazole, thiazole and benzoxazole etc and also demonstrated that these lithium borate complexes are reacting with aryl halide under Suzuki coupling conditions. These lithium borate complexes are available from us in a gram quantity and can be made in a reasonable scale upon request.

Di-Lithium Borate, 99% purity, is widely used in analytical chemistry and laboratory applications as a fluxing agent for sample preparation, particularly in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and spectroscopy techniques. It is employed to fuse and dissolve refractory materials for accurate elemental analysis. In materials science, it is used in glass and ceramic research for developing borate-based compositions. It also finds application in specialty chemical synthesis and high-temperature fusion processes. Its high purity ensures reliable and consistent performance in analytical and research-grade applications.
