Abstract

AbstractThe first examples of ionic liquids based on borenium cations, [BCl2L]+, are reported. These compounds form highly Lewis acidic liquids under solvent‐free conditions. Their acidity was quantified by determining the Gutmann acceptor number (AN). Extremely high ANs were recorded (up to AN=182, δ31P=120 ppm), demonstrating that these borenium ionic liquids are the strongest Lewis superacids reported to date, with the acidity enhanced by the ionic liquid environment.
