The comprehensive description of the crystal structure of a novel 1:1 cocrystal of 3,4,5-trifluoro­phenyl­boronic acid with urea, C6H4BF3O2·CH4N2O, is presented. Both components are good candidates for crystal engineering as they can create a variety of supra­molecular synthons. The preference for the formation of different hetrosynthons is verified based on theoretical calculations. The synanti conformation of boronic acid has been found to be the most favourable in the formation of inter­molecular inter­actions with urea. Moreover, the distortions present in the boron coordination sphere have been described qu­anti­tatively based on experimental data according to bond-valence vector model calculations. The results revealed that the deformation of the sphere is typical for a synanti conformation of boronic acids. The supra­molecular structure of the cocrystal is composed of large synthons in the form of layers made up of O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The layers are joined via N—H...F hydrogen bonds which are unusual for urea cocrystal structures.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
