Neutral triple-decker iron and cobalt complexes with a bridging 1,2-diboratabenzene ligand were accessed by reactions of a dilithium 1,2-diboratabenzene reagent with [Cp*FeCl]2 and [Cp*CoCl]2, respectively. While 1,2-diboratabenzene metal complexes are known, these represent the first examples of the ligand bridging two metals.
