Boronhalogen
Boronhalogen refers to a class of chemical compounds that contain boron and at least one halogen atom. These compounds are generally covalent and exhibit a wide range of properties depending on the specific boron and halogen elements involved. The simplest boronhalogens are boron trihalides, such as boron trifluoride (BF3), boron trichloride (BCl3), boron tribromide (BBr3), and boron triiodide (BI3).
Boron trifluoride is a colorless gas that is widely used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic
Beyond the trihalides, more complex boronhalogen compounds exist. These can include anionic species, such as the
