Boron trichloride is a planar molecule and three covalent bond results due to sp2- hybridisation. BCl3 does not form a dimer. On the other hand, aluminium trichloride exists in the dimeric state (Al2Cl6).In the dimeric state, each aluminium atom accepts a pair of electrons from the chlorine atom of another aluminium chlorid.
