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 …

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 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 …

Organoborane compounds present a class of versatile synthetic intermediate for myriad
organic transformations. The direct addition of a B–H bond across unsaturated bond …

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

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 …

Carbon dioxide is a very abundant molecule that is used as building block by nature. It
would be a sustainable resource for our carbon-based societies if we could emulate nature …

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 …

Reactions of phosphine‐derived carbenes with 9‐borabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonane (9‐BBN) result
in ring‐expansion reactions to generate novel intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) …

The activation and functionalization of carbon dioxide entails great interest related to its
abundance, low toxicity and associated environmental problems. However, the inertness of …
