Abstract
Despite the extensive range of investigations on boronic acids (R-B(OH)2), some aspects of their reactivity still need to be explored. This is the case for the coordination chemistry of boronate anions (R-B(OH)3−), which has only recently been started to be studied. The purpose of this review is to summarize some of the key features of boronate ligands (and of their cyclic derivatives, benzoxaborolates) in materials: (i) coordination properties; (ii) spectroscopic signatures; and (iii) emerging applications.

Summary
Boronic acids (R-B(OH)2 ) are a family of molecules which present a wide range of applications [1]. Benzoxaborolates in these materials will be highlighted, as they are of importance for the study of more complex organic-inorganic materials, for which, some cases, crystal structure is anions. In the third part, the importance of boronates/benzoxaborolates for thefrom preparation will be described, by looking at the crystal structures of phases prepared starting very simple of new families of materials will be underscored, and emerging applications of (nano)materials boronic acids and benzoxaboroles. Benzoxaborolates in these materials will be highlighted, as they are of importance for the study of more complex hybrid organic-inorganic materials, for which, in some cases, no crystal structure is available. In the third part, the importance of boronates/benzoxaborolates for the preparation of new families of materials will be underscored, and emerging applications of (nano)materials involving these anions will be highlighted.
