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

Boron's unique position in the Periodic Table, that is, at the apex of the line separating
metals and nonmetals, makes it highly versatile in chemical reactions and applications …

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 …

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 …

Chiral catalysts play a crucial role in the realm of asymmetric catalysis. Since their
breakthrough discovery in 2006, chiral frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have risen as a novel …

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 synthesis of tris (ortho‐carboranyl) borane (BoCb3), a single site neutral Lewis
superacid, in one pot from commercially available materials is achieved. The high fluoride …

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 …

(Hetero) arene-fused boroles are a class of compounds containing a 5-membered boron
diene-ring. Based on their molecular framework, the (hetero) arene-fused boroles can be …
