95. The change from cis to trans coordination is accompanied by a widening of both the PCC and CCB bond angles by about 4°.
96. This situation is reminiscent to that observed with related diphosphines featuring a diphenyl ether tether: a) P. Dierkes. P. W. N. M. van Leeuwen, J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. 1999, 1519-1529:

98. The short distance between the carbon atom of the CO group and the ipso-carbon of the phenyl ring at boron (3.107 A) in compound 6a may suggest some π⋯π interaction. For a recent example of such contacts between carbonyl ligands and an aryl ring, see D. L. Reger. R. P. Watson. M. D. Smith. P. J. Pellechia. Organometallics 2005, 24, 1544-1555.
99. The optimized geometry of 6a* reproduces the short distance (3.118 A) observed experimentally (3.107 Å) between the carbon atom of the CO group and the ipso-carbon of the phenyl ring at boron. In a similar way. the cis isomer 6 c* is predicted to also feature such a short CC distance (3.026 A).
