Abstract
Halogenated triarylboranes (BAr3) have been known for decades, however it has only been since the surge of interest in main group catalysis that their application as strong Lewis acid catalysts has been recognised. This review aims to look past the popular tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C6F5)3] to the other halogenated triarylboranes, to give a greater breadth of understanding as to how tuning the Lewis acidity of BAr3 by modifications of the aryl rings can lead to improved reactivity. In this review, a discussion on Lewis acidity determination of boranes is given, the synthesis of these boranes is discussed, and examples of how they are being used for catalysis and frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry are explained.

Abstract
A blue fluorescent p-dimesitylboryl-phenyl-functionalized 1,3-bisbenzimidazolyl benzene molecule (1) has been synthesized in high yield by Stille coupling of bisbenzimidazolyl bromobenzene with p-BMes2-SnBu3-benzene. Methylation of 1 led to the formation of the bisbenzimidazolium salt (2). The utility of both 1 and 2 in sensing CN- and halide (F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-) was examined, and it was found that only the small fluoride and cyanide anions were able to bind to the boron atom with binding constants in the range of 2.9 × 104 to 5 × 105 M-1. Computational studies provided insight into the photophysical properties of the molecules and verified that a charge-transfer process is quenched in these "turn-off" molecular sensors.
