Abstract Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases in
solution that are deterred from strong adduct formation by steric and/or electronic factors …

The study of main-group molecules that behave and react similarly to transition-metal (TM)
complexes has attracted significant interest in recent decades. Most notably, the attractive …

The usage of carbon monoxide (CO) as a C1 feedstock for carbonylation has been an
important subject of numerous studies for over a century. The chemistry in this field has …

Transition metal species readily capture and react with CO as the metal can act both as an
acceptor and donor of electron density. In contrast, such a situation is less common in the …

Frustrated Lewis pairs have been used to activate a variety of small molecules. In this review
we focus on the recent chemistry of FLPs with CO2, CO, N2O, NO and SO2. While FLP …

Abstract Der Begriff “frustrierte Lewis‐Paare”(FLPs) bezeichnet Kombinationen von Lewis‐
Säuren und Lewis‐Basen in Lösung, die aufgrund sterischer oder elektronischer Faktoren …

The reaction of trans‐[M (N2) 2 (dppe) 2](M= Mo, 1Mo, M= W, 1W) with B (C6F5) 3 (2)
provides the adducts [(dppe) 2M= N= N‐B (C6F5) 3](3) which can be regarded as M/B …

In this paper, we report on the development of a bench-stable borane for frustrated Lewis
pair catalyzed reduction of aldehydes, ketones, and enones. The deliberate fine-tuning of …

In 1995, the synthesis, properties and remarkable hydroboration activity of bis-
pentafluorophenyl borane was first reported. Its reactivity stems from the ready accessibility …

The outstanding capability of Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) catalysts to activate small
molecules has gained significant attention in recent times. Reactivity of FLP is further …
