Since that isn't really a compound, but instead a complex, the usual searches will fail you.  Can you take a guess, based on what it's made of and see if that's the name?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

neutral molecules do not change names - ammonia has a specific name ammine
ammineboron trifluoride

when naming as adduct use ammonia- instead of ammine
