Seven dioxaborole compounds are investigated in this study. Structural and spectral characterization is done at M062X/6-31+G(d,p) level in the water. Active sites of these compounds are determined using molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps. Electrophilic and nucleophilic attack regions are determined.
