An ansa‐aminoborane an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair with the smallest Lewis acidic boryl site (BH 2 ), predominantly exists in quenched dimeric form in solution. A monomeric species accountable for hydrogen activation is also present in equilibrium. In their Communication on page 1749 ff., I. Pápai, T. Repo et al. describe the reactivity of this frustrated Lewis pair towards H 2 and the corresponding reaction mechanism.
