Abstract

Ab-initio SCF MO calculations have been carried out on the
adducts of borane and boron trifluoride with carbon monoxide,
dinitrogen, and boron fluoride. The calculations correctly predict
that BH3 forms stronger complexes than BF3 and that CO forms ·
stronger complexes than N2. It is predicted that the complexes of
BF should be even stronger. These trends ca'n be understood from
the energies and wave functions of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals
of the components.
