Catching the anchor: Although diboranes(4) commonly react by way of B-B bond activation, reaction of B2Mes2Br2 with [Pt(PEt3)3] led to the selective oxidative addition of one B-Br bond; the resulting diboran(4)yl complex shows an unexpected dative Pt-B bonding interaction to the second boron center of the diboran(4)yl ligand. Oxidative addition of one B-Br bond in B2(NMe2) 2Br2 to [Pt(PiPr3)2] enabled the isolation of a diboran(4)yl species without any dative Pt-B interaction. Copyright
