The palladium diphosphinoboryl pincer [{(o-PPh2C6H4)2B}PdIII] 8 was prepared from the diphosphinoborane complex 6a. The boryl functionality of the pincer displayed ambiphilic properties allowing: (1) coordination of Lewis basic pyridines to the boryl site and (2) access to palladium diphosphinoborane complex derivatives.
