Alkali metal hydridotriphenylborates [(L 1 )M][HBPh 3 ] (L 1 =Me 6 TREN; M=Li, Na, K) chemoselectively catalyze the hydroboration of carbonyls and CO 2 , with lithium being the most active system. A new series of complexes [(L 2 )M][HBPh 3 ] [M=Li ( 1 ), Na ( 2 ), K ( 3 )] featuring the cyclen‐derived macrocyclic polyamine Me 4 TACD (L 2 ) were synthesized in a “one‐pot” fashion and fully characterized including X‐ray crystallography. In the crystal, 1 – 3 exhibit wide variation in metal coordination of the [HBPh 3 ] − anion from lithium to potassium. The structures differ from those in [(L 1 )M][HBPh 3 ]. Effects of coordination of L 1 , L 2 , and other N‐ and O‐donor multidentate ligands on [Li(HBPh 3 )] were used to rationalize the catalytic activity in carbonyl hydroboration.
