The incorporation of subvalent Group 13 ligands into the coordination sphere of transition metals has always been a challenging task, particularly in the formation of homoleptic complexes. Although metastable or sterically protected subvalent EI (E= Al, Ga, In) precursors have become accessible during the last few decades,[1] for example, EI halides,[1, 2][{Cp* E} n](Cp*= η5-C5Me5),[1, 3] and [{EC (SiMe3) 3} n],[1, 4] stable and isolable boron congeners have still not been prepared. For this reason, only homoleptic transition-metal complexes with Al-, Ga-, and In-based ligands have so far been realized, for example, mononuclear [Ni (ECp*) 4](A; E= Al, Ga)[5, 6] and [Ni {EC (SiMe3) 3} 4](B; E= Ga, In),[7, 8] as well as numerous heteroleptic examples with two or more EI ligands.[9]The corresponding subvalent boron ligands, that is, borylenes, have only been generated directly in the coordination sphere of transition metals [10] to form species such as [(OC) 5M= BN (SiMe3) 2](C; M= Cr, Mo, W).[11] To date, both mononuclear borylene complexes containing more than one borylene substituent as well as homoleptic borylene species have continuously resisted isolation. Nonetheless, borylene complexes have sparked increasing interest in fundamental organometallic research because of their close relationship with important organometallic compounds such as carbene, carbyne, and vinylidene complexes, and the similarity of the
