  2. Boron tribromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_tribromide

    Boron tribromide is commercially available and is a strong Lewis acid. It is an excellent demethylating or dealkylating agent for the cleavage of ethers, also with subsequent cyclization, often in the production of pharmaceuticals. [3]

  3. Trigonal planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_planar_molecular...

    In chemistry, trigonal planar is a molecular geometry model with one atom at the center and three atoms at the corners of an equilateral triangle, called peripheral atoms, all in one plane. [1] In an ideal trigonal planar species, all three ligands are identical and all bond angles are 120°.

  4. Boron compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_compounds

    The trihalides adopt a planar trigonal structure. These compounds are Lewis acids in that they readily form adducts with electron-pair donors, which are called Lewis bases. For example, fluoride (F −) and boron trifluoride (BF 3) combined to give the tetrafluoroborate anion, BF 4 −. Boron trifluoride is used in the petrochemical industry as ...

  5. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    For many cases, such as trigonal pyramidal and bent, the actual angle for the example differs from the ideal angle, and examples differ by different amounts. For example, the angle in H 2 S (92°) differs from the tetrahedral angle by much more than the angle for H 2 O (104.48°) does.

  6. Boron trifluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_trifluoride

    Boron trifluoride is a versatile Lewis acid that forms adducts with such Lewis bases as fluoride and ethers: CsF + BF 3 → Cs[BF 4] O(CH 2 CH 3) 2 + BF 3 → BF 3 ·O(CH 2 CH 3) 2. Tetrafluoroborate salts are commonly employed as non-coordinating anions.

  7. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

  8. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Bent's rule implies that bond angles will deviate from the bond angle predicted by VSEPR theory; the relative electronegativities of atoms surrounding the central atom will impact the molecule geometry. [5] VSEPR theory suggests a way to accurately predict molecule shape using simple rules. [13]

  9. T-shaped molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shaped_molecular_geometry

    Although this anion has been detected in the gas phase, attempts at synthesis in solution and experimental structure determination were unsuccessful. A computational chemistry study showed a distorted planar Y-shaped geometry with the smallest F–Xe–F bond angle equal to 69°, rather than 90° as in a T-shaped geometry. [3]
