In contrast to boronic acids, RB(OH) 2 , which have been extensively studied for applications in catalysis and materials chemistry, boronate anions, RB(OH) 3 − , have drawn much less attention. Their coordination chemistry in the context of alkaline earth metals has only recently been reported. D. Laurencin et al. present an in depth study of a new crystalline phase, calcium butylboronate, in their Full Paper on page 880 ff. A methodology combining high‐resolution solid‐state NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations was developed for the analysis of the local structure around boronates in the solid state.
