Can boron atoms, B form dative bonds with nitrogen atoms, N in the compound ammonia?

1 answer:

3 0

"The boron-nitrogen interaction in the studied molecules shows some similarities with the N→B bond in the H3N-BH3 molecule, formally understood as covalent-dative. ... The results show that all the studied BN bonds are triple, since three two-center orbitals have been obtained."

"Formation of a dative bond or coordinate bond between ammonia and boron trifluoride. When the nitrogen donates a pair of electrons to share with the boron, the boron gains an octet. ... In addition, a pair of non-bonding electrons becomes bonding; they are delocalized over two atoms and become lower in energy."

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level. Storm surge on a Louisiana highway shows the effects of rising sea levels. Many people are interested in climate change and how a changing climate will affect the ocean.
