The 15 pages that link to Lewis base, each with the reason it gives.

• Lewis acidCompared with: A Lewis acid accepts the pair that a Lewis base donates.

• ChelationRelated: The atoms that coordinate a metal in a chelator act as Lewis bases.

• NucleophileNarrower topic: Nucleophiles are Lewis bases whose electron-pair donation forms a bond to an electrophilic site.

• Nucleophilic additionRelated: Nucleophiles act as Lewis bases when they form the new bond.

• LigandNarrower topic: Ligands are Lewis bases when they donate electron pairs to central atoms.

• Hard and soft acids and basesNarrower topic: HSAB classifies the electron-pair donors that bind Lewis acids.

• BasicityCompared with: Lewis basicity concerns electron-pair donation, which need not involve proton acceptance.

• TetrahydrofuranRelated: THF’s oxygen lone pairs bind metal centers in reagents such as Grignard compounds.

• Gilbert N. LewisBroader topic: This is the electron-pair donor counterpart in Lewis’s acid–base theory.

• Brønsted–Lowry baseNarrower topic: Proton acceptance is a narrower case of electron-pair donation.

• Arrhenius baseCompared with: This broader definition can classify bases without reference to water or hydroxide ions.

• Boron trifluorideRelated: Lewis bases donate electron pairs to boron, forming adducts with BF₃.

• PhosphineNarrower topic: Phosphines use phosphorus’s lone pair to bind electrophiles and metal centers.

• TrimethylamineRelated: The nitrogen lone pair lets trimethylamine accept a proton or bind Lewis acids.

• HSAB theoryNarrower topic: HSAB classifies Lewis bases by the concentration and deformability of their electron density.
