Which is a better Lewis acid, AlCl3 or BCl3?

Answers

Answered by riya3471

BCl3 is a stronger Lewis acid as the bond formed with the base will involve 2p orbital overlap which is stronger than the 3p orbital overlap in the case of AlCl3.

Hence, the bond formed between BCl3 and the Lewis base will be stronger.
