The title compound, C36H44B2O·0.5CH2Cl2, contains an almost linear O-B-O linkage [177.23 (15)°] and approximately orthogonal [interplanar angles 89.49 (5) and 80.77 (4)°] trigonal planar B centers, consistent with the previously reported non-solvated structure [Cardinet al. (1983). J. Chem. Res. (S), p. 93]. Intermolecular C-H
interactions exist between mesityl groups, with a C-H
centroid separation of 3.6535 (18) Å. The dichloromethane molecules lie on twofold rotation axes.
The title compound was isolated as a biproduct from the reaction of dimesitylboron fluoride and organolithium reagent in tetrahydrofuran. After removal of THF in vacuo, the residue was extracted with dichloromethane. The slow evaporation of dichloromethane under nitrogen atmosphere led to formation of colorless prismatic crystals. It is probable that unintended inclusion of water hydrolyzes the B—F bond to an intermediate borinic acid that undergoes condensation to form the B—O—B linkage.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H (aromatic) = 0.95 Å and C—H (methyl) = 0.98 Å and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), respectively.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The overall geometry of the oxybis(dimesitylborane) molecule is very similar to the previously reported non-solvated structure (Cardin et al., 1983). In the title compound, B—O = 1.351 (2) Å and B1—O1—B2 = 177.23 (15)°, compared with the non-solvated structure where B—O = 1.36 (2) Å and B—O—B = 165.5 (12) °. The angle between the boron trigonal planes (ψ) is 87.16 (5) ° which is larger than that of the previous structure (85 °). Ab initio molecular orbital calculation of (H2B)2O (Fjeldberg et al., 1980) has predicted that as the B—O—B angle approaches linearity, the ψ angle should approach 90°, which is consistent with the present structure, showing B=O=B character. Orthogonality of the mesityl groups 89.49 (5) ° and 80.77 (4) ° attached on the same boron atom is a similar structural feature to the previous report (85.5 ° and 81.3 °; Cardin et al., 1983). Intermolecular C—H···π interaction between mesityl groups exists with C···π separation of 3.6535 (18) ° (Table 1).
