Phosphine‐Stabilized Diiododiborenes: Isolable Diborenes with Six Labile Bonds

The lability of B=B, B‐P and B‐halide bonds is combined in the syntheses of the first diiododiborenes. In a series of reactivity tests, these diiododiborenes demonstrate cleavage of all six of their central bonds in different ways, leading to products of B=B hydrogenation and dihalogenation as well as halide exchange.
