Easy‐to‐prepare η 2 ‐coordinated phosphine‐borane ligands are demonstrated to liberate hydrogen upon treatment with different σ‐donor/π‐acceptor ligands (CO, t BuNC, CN − ). Depending on the utilized ancillary ligand, different reaction pathways are observed, ranging from simple hydride protonation to iron–boron bond formation and subsequent rearrangement to pincer‐type ligands based on a tricoordinate boron centre. The last‐named reactivity is in line with a formal umpolung at the boron centre from a Lewis acidic borane to a Lewis basic boron‐based donor ligand.
