Why not just use Borax in the soil? My family has used it for decades & it has worked well. Dad always added it to the soil with a mix of other stuff (16-16-16 If I recall correctly equal parts nitrogen, potassium, & phosphorus) & some water retaining volcanic stuff that I don't recall now, maybe verticulite?
Tilled some in every year with a turkey manuer Mulch mix & it did well enough for us.
How would two left handed bonds improve tlvs Borax & would it be more cost effective?
They take a common chemical with a boron carbon bond, then they can replace that bond with another common piece of molecule to it. And that attachment can now be toggled as left and right, instead of both and us having to deal with it.
This means that the rare chemical we make from the simple ones have a tremendously higher yeild (cheaper).
EXPONENTIALLY CHEAPER when considering you need multiple switchings of left and right to make a pharma-drug.
ELI5 please.
Yes like in borosilicate glass. Boron is boron, and boron silicate is boron put into a crystal lattice along with other atoms.
