During the last two decades, boron compounds have become established as versatile reagents in organic synthesis, and different methods have been developed for their preparation. Along with hydroboration, [1][2][3][4] transition-metalcatalyzed diboration [5] has become useful for the functionalization of unsaturated organic compounds. [6,7] This reaction is widely applicable to substrates such as alkynes [8,9] arynes, [10] alkenes, [11][12][13] carbenoids, [14,15] as well as diazo [16] and carbonyl compounds. [17][18][19][20] Although bis(catecholato)diborane(4) and bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) represent by far the most commonly employed diborane(4) species, the reaction is not restricted to their use. For instance, several diboranes(4) with interesting properties are derived from [2]borametalloarenophanes. The first example of this class of organometallic compound, the [2]boraferrocenophane 1, was prepared by Herberhold, Wrackmeyer and co-worker, [21] while the molecular structure along with an alternative synthesis was published by our group.[22] Subsequently, a series of [2]borametalloarenophanes has appeared. [23-28b] These ansa complexes show tilted molecular structures, thus featuring significant molecular strain. In 2006, we successfully exploited this ring strain in oxidative addition reactions of [2]borametalloarenophanes to low-valent platinum centers, affording[3]diboraplatinametalloarenophanes. In addition, we demonstrated the suitability of [2]borametalloarenophanes as diboranes(4) in the platinum-mediated diboration of alkynes to form [4]diboradicarbametalloarenophanes.[29] By expansion of this strategy, we also achieved the diboration of diazo compounds [16] and isocyanides.[30]Herein, we report on the two diastereomeric [4]diboradicarbaferrocenophanes 4 and 5, which were obtained by double diboration of the conjugated dialkyne 3 either by a platinum-mediated route employing the [2]boraferrocenophane 1 in the presence of [PtA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (PEt 3 ) 3 ], or stoichiometrically by using the [3]diboraplatinaferrocenophane 2, directly (Scheme 1). In contrast to related transformations of monoalkynes, [29] monitoring the reaction progress by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy revealed the gradual disappearance of the starting materials, and the formation of two distinct compounds in benzene solution at elevated temperatures. Both species feature similar resonances in the 1 H, 11 B, and 13 C NMR spectra, which we rationalized by the generation of diastereomeric species. Complexes 4 and 5 were eventually isolated after workup as orange, moderately moisture-sensitive powders. The NMR spectroscopic data of both diastereomers are fully consistent with the presence of doubly bis(borylated), conjugated triene systems bearing two ferro-

“…[1] Their most common method of preparation is by uncatalyzed hydroboration, the syn-addition of a boronhydrogen bond across carbon-carbon multiple bonds. [2] The development of a catalytic hydroboration process was aided by the observation that Wilkinson's catalyst underwent oxidative addition when treated with catecholborane.…”
