Abstract: FTIR and Raman Spectra of NH4B5O8·4H2O and (NH4)2B8O13·6H2O and their saturated aqueous solutions were recorded respectively at 20 ℃. Fundamental vibrational modes were identified and the assignment of vibrational bands were made. Based on the characterization of vibration spectra, the FBB of (NH4)2B8O13·6H2Owas predicted, as [B7O11(OH)·B(OH)3] 2-, and the strong and sharp band around 516 cm-1 in Raman spectrum was tentatively assigned to its symmetric pulse vibration, firstly. According to the FTIR differential spectra and Raman spectra, both the main polyborate anions {B(OH)3, [B 3O3(OH)4] - and [B5O6(OH)4]-} and their interaction in borate saturated aqueous solution were proposed.
