Treatment of 1,3,5‐tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene with n‐BuLi, followed by H 3 B⋅SMe 2 and subsequent hydride removal gave the (Fmes)BH 2 reagent, which was isolated as a SMe 2 stabilized monomer or a ligand free ( μ ‐H) 2 ‐bridged dimer. Reaction with Mes 2 P(vinyl) gave the respective ethylene‐bridged P/B(Fmes)H FLP. It reduced carbon monoxide to the formyl stage and carbon dioxide to the formaldehyde oxidation state. Most new compounds were characterized by X‐ray diffraction.
