“…In these CX 4 molecules, there are no weak inter-ligand bonding interactions, and typically (although not invariably) the X group bears one non-H substituent at the 1-position. For borates with boron attached to a Csp 3 atom, the C-B bond length is typically 1.575 Å (Wadepohl et al, 2000;Al-Masri et al, 2005;Harlow et al, 2013), but is slightly longer, 1.603 (2) Å , in the sterically crowded molecule (E)-2-(1,1-dicyclohexyl-3-phenyl-3-allyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane (El-Hiti et al, 2013). The C-B bond length in C[B(OMe) 2 ] 4 lies within this range.…”
