The azadithiolate complex Fe<sub>2</sub>[(SCH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>26</sub>NMe](CO)<sub>6</sub> reacts with borane to give an initial 1:1 adduct, which spontaneously decarbonylates to give Fe<sub>2</sub>[(SCH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>NMeBH<sub>3</sub>](CO)<sub>5</sub>. Featuring a Fe-H-B three-center, two-electron interaction, the pentacarbonyl complex is a structural model for H<sub>2</sub> complexes invoked in the [FeFe]-hydrogenases. The pentacarbonyl compound is a "<i>σ</i> complex", where a B-H ...[more]
