The first examples of ionic liquids based on borenium cations, BCl2 L, are reported. These compounds form highly Lewis acidic liquids under solvent-free conditions. Their acidity was quantified by determining the Gutmann acceptor number (AN). Extremely high ANs were recorded (up to AN = 182, δ31P = 120 ppm), demonstrating that these borenium ionic liquids are the strongest Lewis superacids reported to date, with the acidity enhanced by the ionic liquid environment.
首次报道了基于硼翁阳离子BCl2L的离子液体。这些化合物在无溶剂条件下形成高Lewis 酸性液体。通过测定古特曼接受数(AN)来定量它们的酸度。记录到极高的 AN 值(高达 AN = 182,δ31P = 120 ppm),表明这些硼翁离子液体是迄今为止报道的最强 Lewis 超酸,离子液体环境增强了其酸度。
