Frustrated Lewis pairs incorporating the bifunctional Lewis acid 1,1′-fc{B(C6F5)2}2: reactivity towards small molecules

Applications of the bifunctional ferrocenediyl Lewis acid 1,1′-fc{B(C6F5)2}2 in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry are described. The coordination (or otherwise) of a range of sterically encumbered C-, N- and P-centred Lewis bases has been investigated, with lutidine, tetramethylpiperidine, PPh3...
