Abstract
SCF MO LCAO calculations using two different gaussian basis sets have been performed for the species HF, F−, BF3, BF −4 and HBF4 with geometry optimization. Differences in electrophilicity and proton donating capability of HF due to the formation of the adduct with BF3 are evidenced and discussed.
