3-Formyl-2-furanboronic acid: X-ray and DFT studies
The molecule of the title compound, C5H5BO4, is almost planar with the boronic acid group inclined to the furan ring by 3.7 (1)°. DFT (density functional theory) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory (with no imaginary frequencies) were used to approximate the influence of hydrogen bonding on the molecular geometry and have confirmed the planarity of the molecule. No significant differences in geometrical parameters in the solid state and in the gas phase are associated with the presence of the O—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen-bonding network. The crystal packing is characterized by O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers, which are additionally linked by O—H⋯O, as well as C—H⋯O interactio…
3-formylphenylboronic acid.
The molecule of the title compound, C(7)H(7)BO(3), is planar, and the bond lengths and angles are typical. The formyl group is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring but does not influence significantly the distortion of the ring, although the formyl group does have a strong influence on the crystal packing. The geometry of the boronic acid group is typical. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by O-H...O hydrogen bonds.
