Complementary anion binding by bidentate boron-containing Lewis acids

Anion binding by the pyroborates (catB)2O (1, cat = O 2C6H4-1,2) and (S,S-Ph2C 2H2O2B)2O (2) has been investigated by spectroscopic, structural and titration methods. 1 has been shown to act as a bifunctional Lewis acid, exemplified by the complementary (1:1) binding of bidentate bases such as aceta...
