Boranylium ions

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:

  • [BR
    2    ]+
    : borinium
  • [BR
    2    L]+
    : borenium
  • [BR
    2    L
    2    ]+
    : boronium
