53. 3 pair. An optimization of the structure of the adduct obtained from experiment at the HF/3-21G level gave a structure with R = 3.5 Å, and using the ONIOM(MPW1K) approach and a starting structure with R = 1.6 Å gave a more reasonable structure with a N-B distance of 1.653 Å. The "weakly interacting" complex optimized to the structure with N-B distances of 3.4 (HF/3-21G) and >5.6 Å (ONIOM), respectively. For details, see
