Description

General description

B(C₆F₅)₃ is a Lewis acid, stronger than the inorganic parent molecule BF₃. In contrast to the prominent Lewis acids, the pentafluorides of the heavier elements of group 15, B(C₆F₅)₃ has no oxidizing properties. B(C₆F₅)₃ forms adducts with neutral and weaker Lewis bases. B(C₆F₅)₃ has the capability to easily accept anionic ligands bonded to metals.
