Structures of the compounds with the C–B–O–E–C motif (E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) and reported crystal structures. Compound 5 is the only one where this motif is formed by covalent bonds only (Ito et al., 2011), while the compounds 6 (Boese et al., 1996) and 7 (Braunschweig et al., 2017) contain coordinative bonds. |
