“…The exocyclic ethoxy group may account for the asymmetry of the CÐC, CÐO and OÐB bond pairs. Presumably for similar reasons, in the majority of the 14 structures containing diuorodioxoborane rings that are archived in the Cambridge Structural Database (release of April 2003; Allen, 2002); namely CAMLUX10 (Jones et al, 1990), CUQWEQ (Balasubramanian et al, 2000), FIZGAW (Boeyens et al, 1987), HAHHUT (Morris et al, 1993), HATTAX (Stomberg et al, 1994), KONWOZ (Stomberg & Lindquist, 1991), LIYHEG (Go È rlitz et al, 1999), MIXXEW (Schiemenz & Na È ther, 2002) and NOLDOH (Dromzee et al, 1997), the pairs of bond lengths also display differences. In contrast, in ®ve structures these differences are within experimental error.…”
