With the increase of temperature, Raman spectra of crystal broaden and decrease in wavenumber and intensity. During the melting process, [B4O9] rings which consist of two [BO4] and two [BO3] turned into (B3O6)3- six-membered ring and [BO3], [BO4] species decreased and then disappeared. In addition, the vibrational modes of the Li2B4O7 crystal were simulated and assigned by using density functional theory(DFT)method. Raman spectra of x(Li2B4O7)(x=2, 3, …, 9) rings which consist of (B3O6-BO3) were calculated by using quantum chemistry ab initio method, to analyze the cluster in melt. It can be concluded that there exists super ring structure which contains three (B3O6-BO3) rings connected with each other.
