Boron Complex of a Member of the Quinolone Family

In the title compound, bis(acetato-O)(7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylato-O³,O⁴)boron, C₁₇H₁₄BClFNO₇, the B atom is coordinated by four O atoms (two of the quinolone moiety and one each of the two acetate groups) and adopts a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The B-O distances are 1.458 (5) and 1.501 (4) Å for quinolone, and 1.451 (5) and 1.458 (5) Å for acetate.
