“True” metal‐boron compounds have been known for about ten years. The bonding between the metal and boron atoms can vary widely in nature: Not only simple covalent bonds are encountered but also coordinate bonds and boron‐metal multicenter bonds. Furthermore, π complexes of transition metals with boron‐nitrogen systems and metal complexes containing boron(I) compounds as ligands have recently also been prepared.
