Which of the following is the strongest Lewis acid?

A

`BI_(3)`

B

`BBr_(3)`

C

`BCI_(3)`

D

`BF_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`BI_(3), BBr_(3), BCI_(3) and BF_(3)` can be considered as Lewis acids but the formation of `ppi - ppi` bond is less in `BF_(3), BCI_(3) and BBr_(3)` as compared to `BI_(3)`. So `BI_(3)` is strongest Lewis acid.
