Glasses and melts of xBaO–(100−x)B2O3(x=20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and 67mol%) composition have been prepared and studied using high-temperature Raman spectroscopy. It was shown that the structure of the glassy and molten samples with relatively low concentrations of barium oxide (x=20–35mol%) consists of [B∅4]−charged tetrahedra (∅ is a bridging oxygen atom), B∅2O−asymmetric triangles (O−is a non-bridging oxygen atom) and B∅3neutral units. The concentration of [B∅4]−tetrahedra (N4) monotonously decreases with increasing BaO content in the melts structure, whereas N4demonstrates a maximum at x≈40mol% in the glassy samples. [Formula: see text] pyroborate units appear at x≥40mol%, and [Formula: see text] orthoborate anions are also formed in the melts structure when x=60 and 67mol%. The dominant mechanisms for the structural reorganizations generated by changes in temperature depend on the melt composition. The changes in the short range order (SRO) structures can be described by the [B∅4]−⇔B∅2O−isomerization reaction at 25<x<40, whereas the dynamic equilibrium between structural units in the melts with x>50 is most likely described by the [Formula: see text] disproportionation reaction. In both cases, the equilibrium shifts to the right with an increase in temperature. Significant changes in the local structures of melts with a low concentration of barium oxide (x≤20mol%) were not found.
