The SiH bond ousts a phosphorus atom in the coordination to the metal center of the chromium complex 1 . This is the surprising result of the reaction of the hexaorganosubstituted P 3 Si 3 ligand 2 with [Cr(CO) 3 ] (• = SiHMes in 1 and 2 ). The Si,H,Cr three‐center two‐electron bond in 1 represents a case of very weak SiH activation. The crucial factor determining the unusual complexation is the mesityl substitution at the tiny metal center. This is confirmed by the formation of complexes 3 , in which Cr is replaced by Mo and/or mesityl by phenyl groups.
