Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are derived from simple combinations of Lewis acids (electron acceptors) and Lewis bases (electron donors), in which steric demands prevent from forming classical Lewis acid-base adducts. Since 2006, FLP chemistry has emerged as a novel strategy for the design and application of main-group chemistry and development of new metal-free catalytic processes. This strategy has been applied to stoichiometric reactivity and then extended to catalysis. In this review, we briefly summarize the representative discoveries and developments of FLP chemistry in the field of catalysis, including hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, reduction of CO2, transformations of alkynes to organic derivatives, C-H bond borylation and polymerization.

She obtained her PhD degree in 2017, supervised by Professor Bing-Tao Guan at Nankai University. Following her graduate research, she moved to the college of chemistry at Peking University as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Professor Zhenfeng Xi and Professor Wen-Xiong Zhang (2017-2019). Wen-Xiong Zhang (right) received his B.Sc. from Hunan Normal University in 1996, his MSc from Guangxi Normal University in 1999, and his PhD from Nankai University with professor Li-Cheng Song in 2003. He carried out postdoctoral research at Peking University with Prof. Zhenfeng Xi and at Riken in Japan with Prof. Zhaomin Hou. In 2007, he joined College of Chemistry at Peking University as an Associate Professor, where he is now a Professor. His research interests include design, synthesis and small molecule activation of rare-earth-metal heterocycles, metal-catalyzed C-N bond activation, and carbodiimide-based organic synthesis to construct N-containing heterocycles.

“…The discovery of Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) and their investigation in a variety of reaction pathways was a milestone of main group chemistry in the past years and is still of high interest [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . This is particularly associated with their capabilities in activating and binding small molecules, with di-hydrogen being probably the most important example 22,[28][29][30][31][32] .…”

“…In 2006, Stephan and coworkers opened a new era by discovering that the combination of sterically encumbered Lewis acid and base can tear up H—H bond heterolytically via an interaction between the Lewis acid's vacant orbital and the H—H σ bonding orbital alongside with the synergic incursion of Lewis base's lone pair electrons into the σ* anti‐bonding orbital (H—H) (Scheme ) . Since this seminal work, the novel chemistry of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has attracted intensive attention and undergone an extremely rapid growth in the past decade due to the unique activities of FLPs . A wide range of FLPs have been well developed to activate H 2 and some other small molecules, such as CO 2 , CO, SO 2 , NO, and N 2 O .…”

The chemistry of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) provides the most important approach for the metal-free hydrogenation and hydrosilylations. Great progress has been achieved in this area for the past decade. Some promising results have also been obtained. This perspective article mainly focuses on the recent advances for the synthesis of chiral Lewis acidic boranes in category of three protocols, 1) hydroboration of chiral internal alkenes with Piers' borane HB(C6F5)2; 2) in situ hydroboration of chiral alkenes or alkynes without any purification; 3) and substitution reaction of (C6F5)nBCl3-n with chiral organometallic reagents, as well as their applications in the metal-free asymmetric hydrogenations and hydrosilylations.
