Palladium(II)‐induced selective B(4)−H activation of an o ‐carboranylthioamide has been developed. A tetranuclear palladium(II) complex has been obtained in high yield with excellent regioselectivity. DFT calculations have confirmed that the B(4)‐borometalate is lower in energy than the corresponding B(3)‐borometalate. The product proved to be a good precursor for target mononuclear or trinuclear B(4)−H activated complexes.
