Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) show a rapidly increasing spectrum of interesting chemical
reactions.[1] They have been reported to activate dihydrogen under mild conditions and to …

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 …

Frustrated, but not frustrating: Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) can undergo selective 1, 4‐
addition reactions with conjugated ynones (see scheme). Upon FLP dihydrogen activation …

The intramolecular cyclohexylene-bridged P/B frustrated Lewis pair [Mes2P C6H10 B
(C6F5) 2] 1b reacts rapidly with NO to give the persistent FLP-NO aminoxyl radical 2b …

The ambiphilic species Al (C6H4 (o-PPh2)) 3 (2) was synthesized and fully characterized,
notably using X-ray diffraction. Species 2 exhibits pseudo-bipyramidal-trigonal geometry …

A series of enamines undergoes anti-Markovnikov hydroboration with Piers' borane HB
(C6F5) 2 to yield C2-bridged frustrated N/B Lewis pairs, featuring weak N⋯ B interaction …

Boranes R2BH react with carbon monoxide by forming the respective borane carbonyl
compounds R2BH (CO). The formation of (C6F5) 2BH (CO) derived from the Piers borane …

Hydroboration of dimesitylvinylphosphine with Piers' borane [HB (C6F5) 2] gives the
ethylene-bridged intramolecular frustrated P/B Lewis pair 1. It adds pyridine, tert-butyl …

Since the unveiling of the concept of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) by Stephan et al.,[1] the
chemistry of these systems has flourished. Arguably their most attractive application has …

An analysis of the metal‐free reduction of electron deficient olefins by frustrated Lewis pairs
indicates that the rate‐determining step might be either the heterolytic cleavage of H2 to …
