Abstract
- Research has been conducted on Cl (sub)3 B-NH (sub)3 and F (sub)3 B-NH (sub)3 complexes. The authors have calculated bond dissociation energies and geometries of these complexes via the use of density functional theory, and they report that the calculations show a larger bond dissociation energy for Cl (sub)3 B-NH (sub)3 than for F (sub)3 B-NH (sub)3.
