Abstract:
The boronic acid group in the title compound, C11H11BN2O3, adopts a syn-anti conformation and is almost coplanar with the aromatic rings , making a dihedralangle of 3.8 (2)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via pairs of O-H⋯O inter-actions, forming centrosymmetric dimers with an R 2 (2)(8) motif, which have recently been shown to be energetically very favorable (Durka et al., 2012 ▶, 2014 ▶). The hy-droxy groups in an anti conformation are engaged in lateral hydrogen-bonding inter-actions with N atoms from neighbouring mol-ecules, leading to the formation of chains along [001]. O⋯B [3.136 (2) Å] and C(π)⋯B [3.393 (2) Å] stacking inter-actions in turn link parallel chains of centrosymmetric dimers into layers parallel to (010).

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
