Nitroxides, also known as nitroxyl radicals, are long-lived or stable radicals with the general
structure R1R2N–O•. The spin distribution over the nitroxide N and O atoms contributes to …

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 …

BACKGROUND Since the work of Sabatier 100 year ago, chemists have turned almost
exclusively to metals to activate H2 by weakening or cleaving its central bond. This …

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 …

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 …

The metal‐free activation of hydrogen by frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) is a valuable method
for the hydrogenation of polarized unsaturated molecules ranging from imines, enamines …

While conventional approaches to stabilizing main group radicals have involved the use of
Lewis acids or bases, this tutorial review focuses on new avenues to main group radicals …

Progress in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry has revealed the importance of the main
group elements in catalysis, opening new avenues in synthetic chemistry. Recently, new …

Dual systems combining Zn (C6F5) 2 with an organic base (an amine or a phosphine)
promote the controlled ring-opening polymerization of lactide and ε-caprolactone. The Lewis …

The frustrated Lewis pair tBu3P/B (C6F5) 3 (1) readily adds SO2 to yield the zwitterionic
adduct tBu3P+–S (O)–OB−(C6F5) 3 (3). A series of intramolecular vicinal P/B FLPs Mes2P …
