The compound (Me2PhSi)3CBF(OH), made by the hydrolysis of (Me2PhSi)3CBF2, appears to be the first fully characterised organofluorohydroxyborane.The coordination at boron is almost planar.Steric interactions from the large alkyl group, which adopts a propeller-like conformation, compress the F-B-O angle to 111(1) deg, prevent intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and largelu determine the crystal packing.As a result, the orientation of the FBO plane with respect to the three C-Si bonds is disordered: in one orientation (occupancy 40percent) the FBO plane eclipses one of the C-Si bonds and in the other (occupancy 60percent) the FBO plane is turned through approximately 90 deg.
