Abstract:The isolated (pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)triel derivatives (triel = B, Al and Ga) show an intramolecular N···Tr triel bond as shown by compounds found in the Cambridge Structural Database and DFT calculations. The possibility to use them as masked frustrated Lewis pairs (mFLP) has been explored theoretically concerning their reaction with CO2. The adduct formation proceeds in two steps. In the first one, the (pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)triel derivatives break the intramolecular N···Tr bond assisted by CO2 and in the second st… Show more
