To bridge or not to bridge depends on the size of the Lewis base in mixed sp 2 –sp 3 phosphine adducts of Br 2 B 2 Mes 2 . Whereas reaction with bulky PMeCy 2 induced a 1,2‐rearrangement to afford the 1,1‐dimesityl adduct as the major component, the “normal” 1,2‐dimesityl adduct was favored for the smaller PEt 3 molecule. The latter contains an uncommon BBrB bridge and a rare dative BHal bonding interaction to the sp 2 boron center.
