20. The value of the covalent radius of boron of 90 pm is from: Huheey, J. E.; Keiter, E. A.; Keiter, R. L. Inorganic Chemistry, 4th ed.; Harper Collins: New York. 1993; p 292.
21. Reference 1, pace 228: The ratio of the CC double- and single-bond lengths is 0.86, and this same ratio is found to hold, somewhat surprisingly, for many other bonds. In this case it gives the same value of 133 pm for the B=O double bond.
22. r(C) = 77 pm, r(O) = 65 pm (ref 3). d(C=O) = 0.86d(C-O) (ref 18).
