The synthesis of the Cu‐borate complexes [(6Mes)Cu(HBR 3 )] featuring the unusual [HBEt 3 ] − ( 5 ) and [HB(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] − ( 6 ) ligands is described. Experimental and computational studies show both compounds feature a direct Cu–H interaction, but that while 5 is two‐coordinate, 6 displays an additional, stabilizing Cu–C ipso (C 6 F 5 ) interaction.
