  -> Perboorzuur (=Boric acid) refers, as far as I understand, to 3 compounds; orthoboric acid (also called boracic acid, H3BO3 or B2O3·3H2O), metaboric acid (HBO2 or B2O3·H2O), and tetraboric acid (also called pyroboric, H4B4O7 or B2O3·H2O).

perboorzuur


Explanation:
Ik heb weinig boeken over anorganische chemie, dus ik kan dat niet controleren. Maar tetraboorzuur heb ik nooit gehoord, perboorzuur wel, evenals perjoodzuur, perchloorzuur, permolybdeenzuur (?) etc.
Het is evenwel ook mogelijk, dat de naam veranderd is in tetraboorzuur, maar dat ze zijn vergeten mij dat te vertellen :-)

Daartegen pleit dit:

EINECS-nr. CAS-nr.
234-343-4 11113-50-1
boorzuur

afkomstig uit de ref .
Tetraboorzuur komt daar niet voor.
En internet bestond nog niet aan het eind van mijn opleiding...

Ik knipte net iets te hoog uit de lijst, bedoeld was:
234-390-0 11138-47-9
perboorzuur, natriumzout

Het bij zijn vraag staande antwoord aan mij doet vermoeden, dat mijn anorganisch-chemische nomenclatuur inderdaad niet (meer?) up-to-date is :-(
