Hi,
OK. That's not as hard as a carborane, for example. There are several ways you could get what you need I believe. Good luck.

If it is a boronic acid/ester then a program like MCPB (among others) can give you charges and force constants, while a carborane might also work fine in MCPB, but would be tricky due to the interesting structural details. What to use for LJ values for boron is something I am not expert on, but perhaps some digging in the literature would yield some appropriate values. In the end validation that you are reproducing boron chemistry with your FF will be key. Good luck!
