B finds a new hive : The X‐ray structure of [μ‐B t Bu{(η 5 ‐C 5 H 5 )Mn(CO) 2 } 2 ] represents the first crystallographic characterization of an alkylborylene complex. Its substituted counterpart [μ‐B t Bu{(η 5 ‐C 5 H 4 Me)Mn(CO) 2 } 2 ] reacts cleanly with [Pd(PCy 3 ) 2 ] (Cy=cyclohexyl) to form the first heterometallic μ 3 ‐borylene complex 1 , for which DFT and ELF computations indicate a localized bonding situation.
