On the shortest B(III)-O bonds.
For the crystal structures of oxoborates, the value of ~1.2 Å can be regarded as the lower physical limit for B(III)-O bond lengths. The oxoborate crystal structures with B(III)-O bond lengths shorter than ~1.2 Å have been found to be either doubtful or clearly erroneous.
