The non‐classical 1,2‐diboretane‐3‐ylidene 1a was studied by 13 C and 29 Si NMR spectroscopy in order to obtain coupling constants 1 J ( 13 C, 11 B) and 1 J ( 29 Si, 13 C). The magnitudes of 1 J ( 13 C, 11 B) were deduced from linewidth measurements in low‐temperature 13 C and 11 B NMR spectra. Calculation of the coupling constants for model compounds related to 1a , using DFT methods based on optimized geometries [B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p)], gave data in agreement with the experiments. Furthermore, the calculations predict for the first time a negative sign of 1 J ( 13 C, 11 B) which mirrors the bonding situation in 1 as described by theory.
