Individual Reactions

Fluorine anion + Boron trifluoride = (Fluorine anion • Boron trifluoride)

By formula: F- + BF3 = (F- • BF3)

Quantity Value Units Method Reference Comment
Δr340. ± 60.kJ/molAVGN/AAverage of 6 values; Individual data points
Quantity Value Units Method Reference Comment
Δr266. ± 8.4kJ/molIMRELarson and McMahon, 1985gas phase; These relative affinities are ca. 10 kcal/mol weaker than threshold values (see Wenthold and Squires, 1995) for donors greater than ca. 27 kcal/mol in free energy. This discrepancy has not yet been resolved, though the stronger value appears preferable.; B

Chlorine anion + Boron trifluoride = (Chlorine anion • Boron trifluoride)

By formula: Cl- + BF3 = (Cl- • BF3)
