Crystals of the title compound, C23H17B3F3NO3, were obtained unintentionally by slow evaporation of a chloroform solution of the preformed boroxine–pyridine adduct. The molecule contains three fluoro-substituted benzene rings, each bonded to one of the three B atoms of a six-membered boroxine ring. A pyridyl ring is also bound to one of the B atoms through a Lewis acid–base interaction. The binding of the pyridyl substituent causes the otherwise planar boroxine ring to twist, resulting in a maximum torsion angle within the ring of 17.6 (2)°.

The title compound was synthesized by stirring 4-fluorophenylboronic acid with pyridine in CH2Cl2 in the presence of activated 4 Å molecular sieves. After decanting the reaction solution away from the sieves, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the resulting solid was dried at 323 K at atmospheric pressure (Perttu et al., 2005). Crystals of the title compound were obtained unintentionally by slow evaporation of a chloroform solution of the pre-formed boroxine:pyridine adduct (m.p. 513 decomp.).
Although all of the aromatic H atoms were located in difference maps, H-atoms were placed at idealized positions with C—H = 0.93 Å and refined with a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Boroxines are cyclic trimers of organoboronic acids produced by dehydration of the acids (Hall, 2005). Arylboroxines have recently found applications in the areas of covalent organic frameworks, nanoscale molecular scaffolds, and noncovalent polymer functionalization (Iovine et al., 2006). The Lewis acidic boroxines are known to form 1:1 adducts with a variety of nitrogenous Lewis bases such as
pyridines, azaindoles, and salen-type ligands (Kua et al., 2006).The structure of the title molecule (Fig. 1) contains features that are consistent with similar boroxine compounds (Beckett et al., 1997, 1998; Beckmann et al., 2001; Frost et al., 2006; Sánchez et al., 2004; Wu et al., 1999). Two of the boron atoms, B1 and B2, are centered in a trigonal planar geometry, while B3 is part of a tetrahedral geometry. The boron-oxygen bonds involving B3 are elongated, by just over 0.10 Å, compared to the other boron-oxygen bonds. As expected, the boron-carbon bonds involving the sp2 hybridized B1 and B2 are shorter than the B3—C13 bond involving the sp3 hybridized boron atom. The four-coordinate bonding of B3 causes considerable distortion in the boroxine ring. Torsion angles involving B3 average 12.1 (2)° while the torsion angles that do not contain B3 average 4.2 (2)°. The approximate Td symmetry of the molecule results in a rather open packing arrangement, as seen by viewing down the
a axis (Fig. 2).For related literature, see: Beckett et al. (1997, 1998); Beckmann et al. (2001); Frost et al. (2006); Hall (2005); Iovine et al. (2006); Kua et al. (2006); Perttu et al. (2005); Sánchez et al. (2004); Wu et al. (1999).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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. |

Boroxines are cyclic trimers of organoboronic acids produced by dehydration of the acids (Hall, 2005). Arylboroxines have recently found applications in the areas of covalent organic frameworks, nanoscale molecular scaffolds, and noncovalent polymer functionalization (Iovine et al., 2006). The Lewis acidic boroxines are known to form 1:1 adducts with a variety of nitrogenous Lewis bases such as amines, pyridines, azaindoles, and salen-type ligands (Kua et al., 2006).
The structure of the title molecule (Fig. 1) contains features that are consistent with similar boroxine compounds (Beckett et al., 1997, 1998; Beckmann et al., 2001; Frost et al., 2006; Sánchez et al., 2004; Wu et al., 1999). Two of the boron atoms, B1 and B2, are centered in a trigonal planar geometry, while B3 is part of a tetrahedral geometry. The boron-oxygen bonds involving B3 are elongated, by just over 0.10 Å, compared to the other boron-oxygen bonds. As expected, the boron-carbon bonds involving the sp2 hybridized B1 and B2 are shorter than the B3—C13 bond involving the sp3 hybridized boron atom. The four-coordinate bonding of B3 causes considerable distortion in the boroxine ring. Torsion angles involving B3 average 12.1 (2)° while the torsion angles that do not contain B3 average 4.2 (2)°. The approximate Td symmetry of the molecule results in a rather open packing arrangement, as seen by viewing down the unit cell a axis (Fig. 2).
