The simultaneous effects of a boryl substituent and a metallocene unit on a butadiene ligand can lead to CH activation of this simple organic compound: Heating the complexes ( 1 ) formed from the relevant (butadiene)metallocene and 9‐borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9‐BBN) affords complexes 2 (M = Zr) or, by the elimination of H 2 , 3 (M = Zr, Hf). R = H, Me.
