Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are derived from simple combinations of Lewis acids (electron
acceptors) and Lewis bases (electron donors), in which steric demands prevent from forming …

This Perspective describes the development of the field of catalysis and the advent of metal-
free catalysis by focusing on the use of main-group species as frustrated Lewis pair …

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) which rely on the cooperative action of Lewis acids and Lewis
bases, played a prominent role in the advancement of main‐group catalysis. While the early …

Hydroarylation of alkynes and alkenes using metal free catalysts is one of the most
fascinating and useful tools for regioselective C–C bond forming reactions. These …

The concept of Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has proved to be a general principle for the
activation and reactivity of small molecules. In this review, we focus on the chemistry of FLPs …
