The effects of different electronic and structural factors in determining the Lewis acidity of boron compounds are analyzed. Scales of Lewis acidity for boron Lewis acids based on the Gutmann–Beckett and Childs methods have been constructed using data available in the literature. The Lewis acidities of transient boron Lewis acids have been estimated and their high Lewis acidity has been confirmed.
