Frustrated Lewis Pairs: An Elegant Concept for Catalysis

Abstract

The last decade has witnessed an intense increase in research in the area of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP). This conceptually simple idea has demonstrated to be extremely fruitful from a synthetic point of view. In fact, FLP chemistry has been able to offer complementary approaches to transformations traditionally in the realm of metal catalysis. This Cluster contains a series of articles that present the most recent achievements in this field, including new concepts and applications.
