Reactions of laser-ablated B and Al atoms with BF have been explored in the 4 K excess neon through the matrix isolation infrared spectrum, isotopic substitutions and quantum chemical calculations. The inserted complexes FBMF (M = B, Al) were identified by anti-symmetric and symmetric stretching modes of F-B-F, and the F-B-F stretch modes are at 1336.9 and 1202.4 cm for FBBF and at 1281.5 and 1180.8 cm for FBAlF. The CASSCF analysis, EDA-NOCV calculation and the theory of atoms-in-molecules (AIM) are applied to investigate the bonding characters of FBBF and FBAlF molecules. The bonding difference between boron and aluminum complexes reveals interesting chemistries, and the FB species stabilization by a main group atom was first observed in this article.

Through matrix isolation infrared spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations, the reactions of laser ablated V, Nb, and Ta with boron trifluoride were investigated in excess solid neon at 4 K. The possible reaction products FBMF, FBMF, and BMF (M = V, Nb, and Ta) were calculated at the B3LYP, BPW91, and CCSD(T) levels of theory. The B-M bond strength in FBMF molecules is confirmed by energy decomposition analysis-natural orbitals for chemical valence calculations, CASSCF calculation, and natural bond orbital analysis, which favors one σ bond and two half π bonds.

The boron-transition-metal triple-bond complexes FB≡MF (M= Ir, Os, Re, W, Ta) were trapped in excess solid neon and argon through metal atom reactions with boron trifluoride and identified by matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The FB≡MF molecule features very high B-F stretching frequencies at 1586.6 cm (Ir), 1526.

Laser-ablated group 3 transition metal and cerium atom reactions with boron trifluoride were explored in excess solid neon at 4 K through matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The fluoroborylene complexes FBMF (M = Sc, Y, La, Ce) were trapped in inert gas and identified by the isotopic substitutions. The observed frequencies of FBMF were reproduced by DFT, NEVPT2, and CASSCF calculations.
