Sterically encumbered Lewis acid and Lewis base combinations do not undergo the
ubiquitous neutralization reaction to form “classical” Lewis acid/Lewis base adducts. Rather …

In 1963 Shriver reported a metal-boron dative bond in a complex formulated as [(η5-C5H5)
2WH2 (BF3)]. 33 However, these findings were refuted around 30 years later when differing …

The ability of Lewis acids to coordinate to transition metals as σ-acceptor ligands was
recognized as early as in the 1970's, but so-called Z-type ligands remained curiosities until …

Abstract Die Kombination sterisch gehinderter Lewis‐Säuren und‐Basen führt nicht zur
üblichen Neutralisationsreaktion unter Bildung der “klassischen” Lewis‐Säure/Base …

Metal-involving halogen bonding was detected in a series of associates of CHI3 with trans-
[PtX2 (NCNAlk2) 2](X= Cl, Br). The HI2C–I⋯ η1 (Pt) halogen bonding and the bifurcated …

While the vast majority of inorganic chemistry involves electron donation from main-group
atoms to metals, an intriguing yet flip-side exists: where Lewis-basic metals donate electron …

The intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair (mesityl) 2P− CH2− CH2− B (C6F5) 2 was
generated in situ by HB (C6F5) 2 hydroboration of dimesitylvinylphosphine. The compound …

The ambiphilic triphosphine− borane ligand 1 {TPB=[oi Pr2P-(C6H4)] 3B} readily
coordinates to all group 10 and 11 metals to afford a complete series of metal boratranes …

Up until recently, our understanding of the chemistry resulting from the combination of Lewis
acids and bases had not evolved much since Lewis' time. In large part, the formation of …
