Nope! Solid boron and gaseous chloride create liquid *copper* boron trichloride. Boron copper trichloride appears as a colorless gas with a pungent odor. Its fumes irritate the eyes and mucous membranes(nose). It is corrosive to metals and tissue and is toxic. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat, the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used as a catalyst in chemical manufacture, in soldering fluxes, and for many other uses. Here is the chemical composition for it:
InChI=1S/BCl3/c2-1(3)4
Now compare it to whatever the hell "liquid boron trichloride" is, which doesn't exist!
Liquid boron trichloride can be produced by the direct reaction of solid boron with gaseous chloride

Yup, the first word gave it away. "Liquid". Boron is produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, meaning it's so small, yet so abundant it needs copper to exist in our vision.
