BF₃ is a non-flammable compressed gas packaged and shipped in cylinders under high pressure. It is one of the strongest Lewis acids, which are also known as electron pair acceptors. In gas form, it reacts with chemicals containing oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other electron pair donors to form addition or coordination compounds. It is extensively used as an acidic catalyst for organic synthesis reactions.

BF3 Complexes

Complexed forms of BF₃ are typically liquids or solids that can be easier to manage than the high-pressure gas form of BF₃. It is best to use BF₃ in a complexed form so that it can be released under preferred conditions. These complexes can provide unique catalytic effects or change the characteristics of reaction products. Custom complexes can be made upon request.
