Application:	Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane can be used as: • A surface passivation material to enhance the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. • A p-type dopant and a Lewis acid receptor in poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) for environmental ammonia monitoring. • A Lewis acid catalyst in the synthesis of advanced siloxane materials via Piers–Rubinsztajn reaction. • A catalyst in the cyclopropanation of styrenes with aryldiazoacetates to synthesize cyclopropane derivatives under mild conditions. • A versatile reagent widely used in the preparation of d⁰ arene and other organometallic complexes, useful as polymerization catalysts. • Used with tri-tert-butylphosphine (570958) to study the heterolytic cleavage of dihydrogen at room temperature and one atmosphere pressure.
Features and Benefits:	A versatile reagent widely used in the preparation of d⁰ arene and other organometallic complexes useful as polymerization catalysts.
General description:	Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane is a highly fluorinated, boron-based Lewis acid significantly stronger than its inorganic counterpart, BF₃. Unlike the pentafluorides of heavier group 15 elements, B(C₆F₅)₃ exhibits no oxidizing properties. Its pronounced electrophilicity and thermal stability make it a versatile reagent, capable of forming stable adducts with neutral and weak Lewis bases, as well as accepting anionic ligands from metal complexes. These attributes render B(C₆F₅)₃ highly valuable in organometallic catalysis, doping of organic semiconductors, and both solution-phase and vapor-phase material fabrication, including thin-film deposition.
