The activation and utilization of substrates mediated by Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) was
initially believed to occur solely via a two-electron, cooperative mechanism. More recently …

Strong Lewis acids are essential tools for manifold chemical procedures, but their scalable
deployment is limited by their costs and safety concerns. We report a scalable, convenient …

The singlet states of cyclopentadienyl (Cp) cations are considered as true prototypes of an
antiaromatic system. Unfortunately, their high intrinsic reactivity inhibited their isolation in the …

Despite a recent proposal on the mechanism of a single‐electron transfer (SET) process
between tritylium and 2, 6‐bis (diisopropylphenyl) imidazol‐2‐ylidene (IPr) based on …

Comprehensive Summary Introduction of substituents to organic radical is important to
increase the stability and realize its applications as multifunctional materials. In this work …

Common Lewis superacids often suffer from low thermal stability or complicated synthetic
protocols, requiring multi-step procedures and expensive starting materials. This prevents …

The report introduces simple yet highly reactive calcium salt, Ca [Al (ORF) 4] 2 (RF= C (CF3)
3), 1, which effectively catalyses olefin hydrosilylation through an unusual mechanism …

Herein we report on the formation of the adduct salts [Xe (OTeF5)(pyF)][Al (OTeF5) 4](pyF=
C5F5N, C5H3F2N) by abstraction of an–OTeF5 group from Xe (OTeF5) 2 with the Lewis …

Valence tautomerism (VT) may occur if a molecule contains two chemically different redox-
active units, which differ only slightly in their intrinsic redox potential. Herein, we present …
