title: Difluoro-[2-(quinolin-2-yl)phenolato]borane.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(10)BF(2)NO, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-(quinolin-2-yl)phenol and boron trifluoride etherate. The quinoline ring system and the benzene ring are twisted, making a dihedral angle of 8.3 (2)°. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions between the aromatic rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.638 (9) Å] link the mol-ecules into chains propagating in [100].
