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), which emerged from the
discovery that H2 can be reversibly activated by combinations of sterically encumbered …

Abstract Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) catalyzed hydrogenation reaction is one of the
hotspots in the current hydrogenation field. This kind of reaction has the advantages of …

Using a set of state-of-the-art quantum chemical techniques we scrutinized the
characteristically different reactivity of frustrated and classical Lewis pairs towards molecular …

A method for aliphatic fluoride functionalization with a variety of nucleophiles has been
reported. Carbon–fluoride bond cleavage is thermodynamically driven by the use of silylated …

We report studies delineating the speciation, kinetics, and deoxygenation catalysis of
phosphine-modified mixtures of B (C6F5) 3 (BCF) and R3SiH. Combinations of BCF, a …

Abstract New Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are designed and are attempted to activate
molecular hydrogen. The new FLPs are modeled by changing the ligands in the Lewis acid …

Tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane,[B (C6F5) 3], has been used as an efficient catalyst in the
guanylation reaction of amines with carbodiimide under mild conditions. A combined …

The hydride ion transfer and proton transfer are the key steps in the reactions of (de)
hydrogenation, dehydrocoupling, production of H2, and reduction of CO2 with the …

Main observation and conclusion In this work, a novel mode for the activation of N‐
heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC‐boranes) was developed by generating the highly …
