title: The first synthesis and X-ray crystallographic analysis of an oxygen-bridged planarized triphenylborane.
abstract: An oxygen-bridged planarized triphenylborane has been successfully synthesized. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the molecule has a complete planarized structure and the shortest C-B bonds among the triarylboranes synthesized to date.
