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 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 …

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

Hydrogenated nitrogen heterocyclic compounds play a critical role in the pharmaceutical,
polymer, and agrochemical industries. Recent studies on partial hydrogenation of nitrogen …

The bond activation chemistry of B (C6F5) 3 and related electron-deficient boranes is
currently experiencing a renaissance due to the fascinating development of frustrated Lewis …

Asymmetric hydrogenation, a seminal strategy for the synthesis of chiral molecules, remains
largely unmet in terms of activation by non‐metal sites of heterogeneous catalysts. Herein …

Halogenated triarylboranes (BAr3) have been known for decades, however it has only been
since the surge of interest in main group catalysis that their application as strong Lewis acid …

The development of metal-free and recyclable catalysts for significant yet challenging
transformations of naturally abundant feedstocks has long been sought after. In this work, we …

The past decade has seen the subject of transition metal-free catalytic hydrogenation
develop incredibly rapidly, transforming from a largely hypothetical possibility to a well …
