Another Versatile Fluorine Catalyst For Industry from Baker &
Adamson
Boron Fluoride (COMPRESSED
The Reason Why BF3 Is Such A Reactive Catalyst Boron has three valency electrons which it shares with three electrons from the fluorine atoms. Thus, there are only six shared electrons of eight needed to complete the boron octet. Consequently boron trifluoride is highly reactive, forming c o m p l e x e s with a large number of materials, these complexes serving as intermediates in numerous catalytic processes.
