The Cover Feature shows triborane and tetraborane analogues which are stabilized in the coordination sphere of tantalum atom(s). Treatment of [Cp*TaCl 4 ] with chalcogen‐ligated monoborate nucleophiles, [BH 3 (EPh)] − (E = S or Se) yielded various smaller borane analogues. For example, [BH 3 (SPh)] − led to the formation of a diborane and a triborane species, whereas [BH 3 (SePh)] − yielded a triborane and a tetraborane.
