Boranylium ions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a boranylium ion is an inorganic cation with the chemical formula BR+
2, where R represents a non-specific substituent. Being electron-deficient, boranylium ions form adducts with Lewis bases. Boranylium ions have historical names that depend on the number of coordinated ligands:[1]
- [BR
2]+
: borinium - [BR
2L]+
: borenium - [BR
2L
2]+
: boronium
