Photolysis of an aminoborylene complex in the presence of trans ‐bis(alkynyl)platinum(II) precursors of the type trans ‐[Pt(CCAr) 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ] leads to a series of bis(σC‐borirenyl) complexes of Pt II . These complexes display coplanarity of the borirene rings in the solid state, making them the first examples of borirene coplanarity. For more details, see the Full Paper by H. Braunschweig et al. on page 2377 ff.
