Starting from 1,8‐dibromo‐biphenylene, [1‐(bromo)biphenylen‐8‐yl]diphenylphosphine ( 1 ) and [1‐(diphenylphosphanyl)biphenylen‐8‐yl]dimesitylborane ( 2 ) were prepared by sequential metal / halide exchange and salt metathesis reactions. The phosphinoborane 2 comprises a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mounted on a peri ‐substituted biphenylene scaffold with a P ··· B distance of 4.100(3) Å. Attempts to capture dihydrogen and carbon dioxide failed, presumably due to the insufficient Lewis acidity of the dimesityl borane group. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography.
