• Beschreibung

  Boric acid is a monobasic acid that exhibits extremely weak acidity (Ka = 5.8 × 10⁻¹⁰), similar to silicic acid (K₁ = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰). Upon ionisation in water, it does not donate protons directly but instead forms a complex with hydroxide ions present in the solution:H₃BO₃ + 2H₂O → H₃O⁺ + B(OH)₄⁻
  This behaviour is related to the electron-deficient nature characteristic of boron compounds. In boric acid, the boron atom acts as an electron pair acceptor by bonding with a hydroxide ion, where the oxygen atom serves as the electron pair donor. Thus, boric acid is considered a typical Lewis acid.
  When glycerol or mannitol [CH₂(OH)(CHOH)₄CH₂OH] is added to a boric acid solution, its acidity increases. This is because boric acid forms a coordination complex (anion) with glycerol, which facilitates the release of H⁺ ions, thereby enhancing ionisation.
  
  In the crystal structure of boric acid, the fundamental unit is the planar triangular BO₃ group. Each boron atom undergoes sp² hybridisation, and each oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with a boron atom, while also interacting with two hydrogen atoms through covalent and hydrogen bonding. These interactions give rise to layered, sheet-like macromolecular structures. Upon heating, the weak hydrogen bonds are disrupted, leading to disintegration of the macromolecular sheets and an increase in solubility.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Boric acid, also known as orthoboric acid, appears as white crystalline powder or as lustrous, lamellar crystals with triclinic axes. It possesses a faintly bitter taste and imparts a slippery sensation upon skin contact. Odourless, it dissolves in water, ethanol, glycerol, ethers, and essential oils. Its aqueous solution exhibits weak acidity. Upon heating to 70–100°C, orthoboric acid gradually dehydrates to form metaboric acid; at 150–160°C it becomes pyroboric acid; and at 300°C it decomposes into boric anhydride (B₂O₃). Boric acid is toxic to humans. Its weakly acidic aqueous solution exhibits typical Lewis acid properties. The presence of hydrochloric acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid enhances its solubility in water.
  
  Boric acid has uses in the production of textile fiberglass, flat panel displays, and eye drops. Boric acid is recognized for its application as a pH buffer and as a moderate antiseptic agent and emulsifier.

• Physikalische Eigenschaften

  Colorless, transparent triclinic crystal or white granule or powder; density 1.435 g/cm³; melts at 171°C under normal heating; however, slow heating causes loss of water; sparingly soluble in cold water (4.7% at 20°C); pH of 0.1M solution 5.1; readily dissolves in hot water (19.1% at 80°C and 27.5% at 100°C); also soluble in lower alcohols and moderately soluble in pyridine.

• History

  The discovery and utilization of borax dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used as a flux in glass production. The chemical composition of boric acid remained an enigma until the early 19th century, when it was first employed by alchemists.
  
  In 1702, the French physician Homberg first reacted borax (Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O) with sulfuric acid to produce boric acid, naming it "salsedativum"(sedative salt). This reaction laid the foundation for the early production of boric acid.
  In 1741, the French chemist Pott further investigated the reaction and discovered that it also produced sodium sulfate, revealing the double displacement nature of borax's reaction with acids.

• Application

  For weatherproofing wood and fireproofing fabrics; as a preservative; manufacture of cements, crockery, porcelain, enamels, glass, borates, leather, carpets, hats, soaps, artificial gems; in nickeling baths; cosmetics; printing and dyeing, painting; photography; for impregnating wicks; electric condensers; hardening steel. Also used as insecticide for cockroaches and black carpet beetles.

• Verwenden

  Boric acid can be used to study molecular biology, DNA and RNA purification, biological buffers and molecular biology reagents. Boric acid has been used to test the toxic effects of boron on growth and antioxidant system parameters of maize (Zea mays L.) roots. Boric acid has also been used to study the effect of time period after boric acid injection on (10)B absorption in different regions of adult male rat′s brain.

• synthetische

  Boric acid is produced from borax, colemanite, or other inorganic borates by reaction with sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, and cooling the solution to proper temperature:
  Na₂B₄O₇ ? 10Η₂Ο + H₂SO₄ → 4H₃BO₃ + Na₂SO₄ + 5H₂O
  It also may be prepared by extraction of weak borax brine with a kerosene solution of an aromatic diol, such as 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol or 3-chloro- 2-hydroxy-5-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)benzyl alcohol. The diol-borate chelate formed separates into a kerosene phase. Treatment with sulfuric acid yields boric acid which partitions into aqueous phase and is purified by recrystallization.

• Vorbereitung Methode

  Boric acid occurs naturally as the mineral sassolite. However, the majority of boric acid is produced by reacting inorganic borates with sulfuric acid in an aqueous medium. Sodium borate and partially refined calcium borate (colemanite) are the principal raw materials. When boric acid is made from colemanite, the fineground ore is vigorously stirred with mother liquor and sulfuric acid at about 908℃. The by-product calcium sulfate is removed by filtration, and the boric acid is crystallized by cooling the filtrate.

• Definition

  ChEBI: Boric acid is a member of boric acids. It has a role as an astringent. It is a conjugate acid of a dihydrogenborate. It is a precursor material for other boron compounds. A dilute water solution of boric acid is usually employed as a mild antiseptic and eyewash. Boric acid is too employed in leather manufacture, electroplating, and cosmetics.

• Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO)

  Boric acid and some borates were formerly extensively used as disinfectants and antiinflammatory agents. By the late 1960s an association between the death of many infants and application of high concentrations of boric acid contained in topical preparations used in the treatment of napkin rash had been established. This led to the restriction of the use of boric acid in pharmaceutical preparations by many regulatory authorities. In some countries it is now permitted only as an ingredient in ophthalmological preparations.

• Allgemeine Beschreibung

  Boric acid is a weak monobasic acid, it accepts OH^- ions, hence is a Lewis acid. In boric acid, B is sp² hybridized, forming a planar triangle structure. The principal oxide of boron, B₂O₃, is obtained as a vitreous solid by dehydration of boric acid at red heat.

• Hazard

  Toxic via ingestion. Use only weak solu- tions. Irritant to skin in dry form.

• Flammability and Explosibility

  Non flammable

• Pharmazeutische Anwendungen

  Boric acid is used as an antimicrobial preservative in eye drops, cosmetic products, ointments, and topical creams. It is also used as an antimicrobial preservative in foods.
  Boric acid and borate have good buffering capacity and are used to control pH; they have been used for this purpose in external preparations such as eye drops.
  Boric acid has also been used therapeutically in the form of suppositories to treat yeast infections. In dilute concentrations it is used as a mild antiseptic, with weak bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties, although it has generally been superseded by more effective and less toxic disinfectants.

• Biochem/physiol Actions

  Boric acid has antibacterial and fungicidal properties. It is used in the periodontal therapy as an irrigation solution as it elicits bactericidal effects in microbial biofilms in root canal. Boric acid may favor osteoblastic activity and inhibit bone loss. It inhibits Candida albicans fungal infection and has potential to treat vaginal infection.

• Sicherheit(Safety)

  Boric acid is a weak bacteriostatic and antimicrobial agent, and has been used in topical preparations such as eye lotions, mouthwashes and gargles. It has also been used in US- and Japanese-approved intravenous products. Solutions of boric acid were formerly used to wash out body cavities, and as applications to wounds and ulcers, although the use of boric acid for these purposes is now regarded as inadvisable owing to the possibility of absorption. Boric acid is not used internally owing to its toxicity. It is poisonous by ingestion and moderately toxic by skin contact. Experimentally it has proved to be toxic by inhalation and subcutaneous routes, and moderately toxic by intraperitoneal and intravenous routes.
  Boric acid is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and from damaged skin, wounds, and mucous membranes, although it does not readily permeate intact skin. The main symptoms of boric acid poisoning are abdominal pain, diarrhea, erythematous rash involving both skin and mucous membrane, and vomiting. These symptoms may be followed by desquamation, and stimulation or depression of the central nervous system. Convulsions, hyperpyrexia, and renal tubular damage have been known to occur.
  Death has occurred from ingestion of less than 5 g in young children, and of 5–20 g in adults. Fatalities have occurred most frequently in young children after the accidental ingestion of solutions of boric acid, or after the application of boric acid powder to abraded skin.
  The permissible exposure limit (PEL) of boric acid is 15 mg/m³ total dust, and 5 mg/m³ respirable fraction for nuisance dusts.

• läuterung methode

  Crystallise the acid three times from H2O (3mL/g) between 100o and 0o, after filtering through sintered glass.Dry it to constant weight over metaboric acid in a desiccator. It is steam volatile. After two recrystallisations of ACS grade. it had Ag at 0.2 ppm. Its solubility (%) in H2O is 2.66 at 0o, 4.0 at 12o and 24 at 80o. At 100o it loses H2O to form metaboric acid (HBO2). When it is heated to redness or slowly to 200o, or over P2O5 in vacuo, it dehydrates to boric anhydride (B2O3) [1303-82-6] to give a white hard glass or crystals with m ~294o.The glass softens on heating and liquefies at red heat. It is an astringent, a fungicide and an antibacterial. [McCulloch J Am Chem Soc 59 2650 1937, Kelly J Am Chem Soc 63 1137 1941, Taylor & Cole J Chem Soc 70 1926, Conti J Soc Chem Ind 44 343T 1925.]
