Abstract: The title compound, C₁₈H₂BF₁₅O·H₂O·C₂H₆O₂, obtained by crystallization of a product formed from a reaction mixture containing B(C₆F₅)₃ and Me₂SO₂ (and H₂O) in hexane, was characterized in the solid state as a supramolecular assembly containing water adducts of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, (H₂O)B(C₆F₅)₃, linked together by a network of hydrogen bonds involving one additional H₂O and one additional Me₂SO₂ molecule per adduct molecule.
