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 …

This article is focused on recent developments in main group mediated hydrogenation
chemistry and catalysis using “frustrated Lewis pairs”(FLPs). The broading range of …

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 …

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 …

Two alternative qualitative reactivity models have recently been proposed to interpret the
facile heterolytic cleavage of H2 by frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). Both models assume that …

This paper describes a highly enantioselective metal-free hydrogenation of imines using
chiral dienes as “ligands” for the generation of catalysts with HB (C6F5) 2 by hydroboration …

Lewis pair (LP) chemistry has shown broad applications in the catalysis field. However, one
significant challenge has been recognized as the instability for most homogeneous LP …

Using a simple combination of tri-tert-butylphosphine and chiral borane generated in situ by
the hydroboration of chiral diene with HB (C6F5) 2 as a frustrated Lewis pair catalyst, a …
