Ligand cooperation has become an important strategy in the development of new transition metal based transformations. By using this approach some remarkable new catalytic transformations have been achieved, all in the space of only a few years. The purpose of this tutorial review is to explore the potential utilisation of ligands containing borohydride and borane functionalities as reversible hydrogen atom stores. At the heart of this review will be a discussion on hydrogen transfer reactions and the transformation between borohydride and borane moieties. An outline of the various synthetic routes to metal-borane (metallaboratrane) complexes will be provided together with a discussion of their further reactivity including key transformations such as 1,2 additions across the metal-boron bond and 'recharging' the borane functional group back to borohydride. Finally, an evaluation of the potential future applications of such reactivity will be provided.
配体协同作用已成为开发新型过渡金属转化反应的重要策略。通过这种方法，在短短几年内实现了一些显著的新型催化转化。本综述的目的是探索含有硼氢化物和硼烷官能团的配体作为可逆氢原子储存的潜在应用。本综述的核心将是讨论氢转移反应以及硼氢化物和硼烷部分之间的转化。将提供各种合成金属-硼烷（金属硼烷）配合物的路线，并讨论其进一步的反应性，包括关键转化，如硼-金属键的 1,2 添加和“再充电”硼烷官能团回到硼氢化物。最后，将对这种反应性的潜在未来应用进行评估。
