Exposure of 1 to H2 (1 bar) at room temperature afforded the corresponding di(o-tolyl)hydroborane through cleavage of the H–H and B–B bonds. DFT calculations suggested a diarylboryl anion character for the transition state.}, pages = {2593--2596}, title = {Cleaving Dihydrogen with Tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4)}, volume = {139}, year = {2017} }
