    The water reactivity of the boroauride complex ([Au(B 2 P 2 )][K(18-c-6)]; (B 2 P 2 , 9,10-bis(2-(diisopropylphosphino)-phenyl)-9,10-dihydroboranthrene) and its corresponding two-electron oxidized complex, Au(B 2 P 2 )Cl, are presented. Au(B 2 P 2 )Cl is tolerant to H 2 O and forms the hydroxide complex Au(B 2 P 2 )OH in the presence of H 2 O and triethylamine. [Au(B 2 P 2 )]Cl and [Au(B 2 P 2 )]OH are poor Lewis acids as judged by the Gutmann–Becket method, with [Au(B 2 P 2 )]OH displaying facile hydroxide exchange between B atoms of the DBA ring as evidenced by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The reduced boroauride complex [Au(B 2 P 2 )] − reacts with 1 equivalent of H 2 O to produce a hydride/hydroxide product, [Au(B 2 P 2 )(H)(OH)] − , that rapidly evolves H 2 upon further H 2 O reaction to yield the dihydroxide compound, [Au(B 2 P 2 )(OH) 2 ] − . [Au(B 2 P 2 )]Cl can be regenerated from [Au(B 2 P 2 )(OH) 2 ] − via HCl·Et 2 O, providing a synthetic cycle for H 2 evolution from H 2 O enabled by O–H oxidative addition at a diboraanthracene unit.
