Boron compounds have attracted the attention of chemists because of their unique catalytic properties and potential wider material applications. Although group 13 metal compounds, which are based on the bis-(benzoxazol-2-yl)-methane system (Box, ({NCOC6H4}2CH2)), have been reported in the last several years, boron containing Box compounds were still missing. Now we report their successful syntheses and spectroscopic characterisation in this work. The borane compound [({NCOC6H3}2CH)BH2] (1) and haloboranes [({NCOC6H3}2CH)BF2] (2), [({NCOC6H3}2CH)BCl2] (3) and [({NCOC6H3}2CH)BBr2] (4) were characterised in the solid state by single crystal X-ray diffraction and in solution by NMR techniques. In addition, the fluorescence properties of compounds 1-4 are communicated.
