a. Use Drago’s E and C parameters to calculate ΔH for the reactions of pyridine and BF3 and of pyridine and B(CH3)3. Compare your results with the reported experimental values of -71.1 and -64 kJ/mol for pyridine–B(CH3)3 and
-105 kJ/mol for pyridine–BF3.
b. Explain the differences found in part a in terms of the structures of BF3 and B(CH3)3.
c. Explain the differences in terms of HSAB theory.
