Side‐on or end‐on? Rhodium and iridium complexes featuring aminoboranes (R 2 NBH 2 ) as ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Crystallographic measurements show that the ligands—in contrast to isoelectronic alkene donors—bind in an end‐on fashion through a bis(σ‐borane) binding motif (see structure).
