Boron bonding and conformational analysis is a unique topic, since
organo-boron compounds have unique properties. There is no coverage of
boron in GAFF. A quick Google search shows force fields for partiular types
of boron compounds, but nothing pops up that looks very general.
Handling the ligand with QM/MM would be one possibility.
As usual, I'm hoping that others on the list who know more than I do will
chime in here.
