Room temperature hydrogenation of an SIDep‐stabilized diboryne (SIDep=1,3‐bis(diethylphenyl)‐4,5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐ylidene) and a cAAC‐supported diboracumulene (cAAC=1‐(2,6‐di iso propylphenyl)‐3,3,5,5‐tetramethylpyrrolidin‐2‐ylidene) provided the first selective route to the corresponding 1,2‐dihydrodiborenes. DFT calculations showed an overall exothermic (Δ G =19.4 kcal mol −1 ) two‐step asynchronous H 2 addition mechanism proceeding via a bridging hydride.
