Diboron tetrafluoride
Encyclopedia
Diboron tetrafluoride is a colorless gas. It can be formed by reacting boron monofluoride
with boron trifluoride
at low temperatures, taking care not to form higher polymers.
Boron monofluoride
boron monofluoride or fluoroborylene is a chemical compound with formula BF, one atom of boron and one of fluorine. It was discovered as an unstable gas and only in 2009 found to be a stable ligand combining with transition metals, in the same way as carbon monoxide. It is a subhalide, containing...

Boron trifluoride
Boron trifluoride is the chemical compound with the formula BF3. This pungent colourless toxic gas forms white fumes in moist air. It is a useful Lewis acid and a versatile building block for other boron compounds.-Structure and bonding:...
