1‐[5‐(4,5‐Dimethyl‐1,3,2‐dioxaborolan‐2‐yl)thiophen‐2‐yl]ethanone and 4‐(4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐1,3,2‐dioxaborolan‐2‐yl)benzaldehyde

In both title compounds, C₁₀H₁₃BO₃S, (I), and C₁₃H₁₇BO₃, (II), the molecules adopt nearly planar conformations. The crystal packing of (I) consists of a supramolecular two‐dimensional network with a herringbone‐like topology formed by self assembly of centrosymmetric pairs of molecules linked via dipole–dipole interactions. The crystal structure of (II) consists of a supramolecular two‐dimensional network built up from centrosymmetric pairs of molecules viaπ–π interactions. These pairs of molecules are self‐organized in an offset fashion related by a symmetry centre, generating supramolecular ribbons running along the 101] direction. Neighbouring ribbons are stacked via complementary van der Waals and hydrophobic methyl–methyl interactions.
