To B or not to B? Incorporation of BH into tridentate ligands has recently allowed the isolation of the first boryl‐based pincer complexes. Functionalized diaminoborane and m ‐carbaborane (see picture) form Ir and Pd complexes, respectively. Novel reactivity, including in catalysis, is expected to result from the Mboryl bond and electronic communication with the specific ligand framework.
