The Lewis concept of acidity designates acids as electron pair acceptors, and bases as electron pair donors. For the reaction:

$AlBr_3 + Br^(-) rarr AlBr_4^-$,

clearly the bromide ion is the base, the electron donor, and aluminum, the acid, the electron-pair acceptor. How would you designate the reaction of $BCl_3$ with chloride ion in these terms?
