Lithium bis(oxalate)borate is the inorganic compound with the formula LiB(C2O4)2. A white solid, it is used as an electrolyte in some lithium batteries.[1] It is one of several borate oxalates.
According to X-ray crystallography, solid LiBOB consists of tetrahedral B(C2O4)−2 anions linked by Li+ cations.[2]
