Abstract

Channeling the frustration: Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) consisting of Ar^F₂BH 1 with NEt₃or DABCO can activate H₂ under mild conditions. Theoretical calculations suggest two distinct reaction pathways for these two FLPs. For the "more frustrated" Ar^F₂BH/NEt₃, H₂is activated in a stepwise manner; for the "less frustrated" Ar^F₂BH/DABCO, H₂ is activated in a concerted fashion (see scheme). © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
