Boron monofluoride or fluoroborylene is a chemical compound with formula BF one atom of boron and one of fluorine. It was discovered as an unstable gas and only in 2009 found to be a stable ligand combining with transition metals in the same way as carbon monoxide. It is a subhalide containing fewer than the normal number of fluorine atoms compared with boron trifluoride. BF is isoelectronic with carbon monoxide and dinitrogen.
