    Boron trihalide

    Both boron and 4 halogens can form trihalide BX 3
    .


    At room temperature, BF3 and BC1 3 are gases, BBr 3 is liquid, and Bl 3 is solid


    Gaseous boron trihalide molecular configuration of flat triangles, the center of B atoms taken SP 2 Hybridized, hybrid orbital and X each have the single p-orbital electrons form σ bonds
    .


    The unhybridized 2p empty orbital of B is parallel to the three p orbitals of one valence layer of X (providing a pair of electrons), overlapping each other to form a delocalized π bond II 6 4


    BX 3 is a typical Lewis acid, which can combine with Lewis bases such as ammonia to form acid-base complexes
    .



    H[BF 4 ] is a strong acid and its salt is quite stable.


    For example, K[BF 4 ] and Na[BF 4 ] are stable chemical reagents


    BCI at high temperatures above 1000K 3 NH2 and 3 the reaction may be generated BN
    .

    BCI 3 +NH 3 =BN+3HCI

    The BX 3 molecule is easily hydrolyzed
    .


    BX 3 is an electron-deficient compound, and the unhybridized 2p empty orbital of B can accept the electron pair of O in the H 2 O molecule to make it easy to undergo hydrolysis reaction


    BF 3 is not the same as other BX 3 hydrolysates
    .


    Due to the small radius of the F, B conducive to the lack of coordination of electrons, it may be further reacted with HF generated by the BF .


    Therefore, BF 3 is hydrolyzed to produce two products: B(OH) 3 and H[BF 4 ]
    .

    4BF 3 +3H 3 O=B(OH) 3 +3H[BF 4 ]

    To the BCI .


    3
    ventilation of water, hydrolysis also occurs but not more generated HCI and the BCl .


    BCl 3 +3H 2 O=B(OH) 3 +3HCI

    2.
    Ming's other valence boron halide

    Boron and halogen may also be formed in many different valences of boron halides, boron oxidation number lower than BX .
    3
    oxidation number of boron, called boron halides low
    .

    B 2 F 4 is gaseous at room temperature (melting point -56°C, boiling point -34°C), the BB bond is longer (similar to N 2 O 4 ), and has a planar structure
    .


    B 2 CI .


    B 8 F 12 is a yellow solid, and the 8 B atoms in the crystal form a structure similar to diborane , as shown in Figure 13-15
    .


    Figure 13-15 Structure of B 8 F 12

    Many types of boron halides can be obtained from B 2 X 4 , among which the more important is B n X n (boron monohalide polymer)
    .
    For B n Cl n , n=4, 8~12; for B n Br n , n=7~10
    .
    Among them, the relatively stable ones are B 4 CL 4 , B 8 Cl 8 and B 9 CL 9
    .
    B n X n all form a cage-like B n structure, with an X connected to each B end
    .

    B 4 Cl 4 is a light yellow-green solid, and B in the crystal has a regular tetrahedral structure (Figure 11 3-16)
    .
    B 8 Cl 8 is a dark red or purple solid, and B 8 in the crystal forms a dodecahedron
    .
    B 9 Cl 9 is an orange-yellow solid, and B 9 in the crystal forms a three-hat triangular prism (a B-cap is provided on each of the three quadrilaterals of the six regular triangular prisms composed of B)
    .
