Borohydride refers to the anion BH−4 and its salts. Borohydride is also the term used for compounds containing BH₄₋ₙX⁻ₙ, for example cyanoborohydride (B(CN)H⁻₃) and triethylborohydride (B(C₂H₅)₃H⁻). Borohydrides find wide use as reducing agents in organic synthesis. The most important borohydrides are lithium borohydride and sodium borohydride, but other salts are well known (see Table). Tetrahydroborates are also of academic and industrial interest in inorganic chemistry.
