The boroselenates are chemical compounds containing interlinked
borate A borate is any of several boron oxyanions, negative ions consisting of boron and oxygen, such as orthoborate , metaborate , or tetraborate ; or any salt with such anions, such as sodium metaborate, and disodium tetraborate . The name also re ...
and
selenate The selenate ion is . Selenates are analogous to sulfates and have similar chemistry. They are highly soluble in aqueous solutions at ambient temperatures. Unlike sulfate, selenate is a somewhat good oxidizer; it can be reduced to selenite o ...
groups sharing oxygen atoms. Both selenate and borate groups are tetrahedral in shape. They have similar structures to borosulfates and
borophosphates The borophosphates are mixed anion compounds containing borate and phosphate anions, which may be joined together by a common oxygen atom. Compounds that contain water or hydroxy groups can also be included in the class of compounds. Borophosphates ...
. The borotellurates' tellurium atom is much bigger, so TeO6 octahedra appear instead.
