The rise of CO2 concentrations in the environment due to anthropogenic activities results in
global warming and threatens the future of humanity and biodiversity. To address excessive …

Frustrated Lewis pairs have been used to activate a variety of small molecules. In this review
we focus on the recent chemistry of FLPs with CO2, CO, N2O, NO and SO2. While FLP …
