Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

The articulation of the notion of “frustrated Lewis pairs”(FLPs), which emerged from the
discovery that H2 can be reversibly activated by combinations of sterically encumbered …

Conspectus Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry has emerged in the past decade as a
strategy that enables main-group compounds to activate small molecules. This concept is …

The development of new or more sustainable, active, efficient, controlled, and selective
polymerization reactions or processes continues to be crucial for the synthesis of important …

The stabilization and isolation of highly reactive species has long been the subject of
chemical research. This review will focus on a large and important class of reactive species …

Sterically encumbered Lewis acid and Lewis base combinations do not undergo the
ubiquitous neutralization reaction to form “classical” Lewis acid/Lewis base adducts. Rather …

The last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning decade of the twenty-first
witnessed spectacular discoveries in the chemistry of the heavier main-group elements. The …

The success of homogeneous catalysis can be attributed largely to the development of a
diverse range of ligand frameworks that have been used to tune the behavior of various …

Hydrogen storage for transportation applications requires high volumetric and gravimetric
storage capacity. B–N compounds are well suited as storage materials due to their light …
