Borate: guilty and charged! The borate ion, and possibly carbonate, enhances rates of steady oxygen‐isotope exchanges at some, but not all, structural sites in polyoxometalate ions. Addition of an oxygen atom to an incoming neutral boric acid molecule (blue=boron) from a bridging oxygen atom on a decametalate ion is shown here.
