Boron trichloride

Boron trichloride is a colorless, fuming liquid at room temperature with a pungent, acrid odor and high volatility; it has a boiling point of 12.6 °C and a melting point of –107.3 °C. It is an inorganic covalent compound and a strong Lewis acid. Primarily used as a catalyst and intermediate in chemical synthesis, it serves in the production of high-purity boron-containing materials, including elemental boron, boron nitride, and borosilicate glasses. Its main application areas include semiconductor manufacturing (as a dopant source), fiber-optic cable production, and the synthesis of specialty inorganic compounds for electronics and refractory materials.

Boron trichloride can be used to produce high purity boron, catalyst in organic synthesis, fluxing agen for decomposition of silicate, boronizing steel, produce Boron nitride and borane compound. Boron trichloride is mainly used in the diffusion, ion implantation, the dry etching process for producing silicon semiconductor devices and integrated circuits in electronic industry. Boron trichloride is Used as a semiconductor silicon doping source. Boron trichloride is Used for the preparation of fatty acid methyl ester and for ester exchange reaction of triglyceride.
