Frustrated Lewis pairs: a new strategy to small molecule activation and hydrogenation catalysis

Dalton Transactions · 2009 · pp. 3129–3129

Douglas W. Stephan✉(University of Toronto)

Abstract

The combination of Lewis acids and bases that are sterically precluded from forming Lewis acid-base adducts, termed Frustrated Lewis pairs provide a unique route to the activation of small molecules and applications in catalysis.
