Antchamber cannot deal with boron-containing molecules.

Have you done a good literature search here. Searching on "phenylboronic
acid simulation" finds some old hits, but might help you get started.

Also look for just boronate or boronic acid itself, and you may be able to
piece together together aryl substitutents onto that.

I recognize this is not a direct answer to your question. Maybe others can
help as well.
