Stable compounds featuring gold–boron bonds are rare, and until 2006, were limited to those containing hypercoordinate boron ligands, for example, polymetallic monoboron clusters [1] and complexes in which a {LAu+} fragment formally bridges an apical boron atom of a carborane cluster and another metal atom.[2] Linking low-coordinate boron to gold has proved a challenging task, but this has recently been shown to reflect little more than a synthetic roadblock. Traditional methods for constructing transition-metal–boron bonds (based on B+/MÀ polarity)[3] were found to be unsuitable: AuI appears to lack sufficient reducing strength or nucleophilicity to perturb boron–halide bonds or to donate to an nonbridging Lewis acidic borane. Synthetic strategies based on the opposite polarity (BÀ/M+) were unthinkable until very recently, because of the absence of boron-based nucleophiles.[4] In the last three years, success has been found with both of these strategies, and two new boron–gold coordination modes have been discovered, namely the borane gold complexes (Au! B), and the boryl gold complexes (Au
