Abstract

Open wide! The geminal P/Al-based frustrated Lewis pair (Mes2 P)(tBu2 Al)CC(H)Ph forms stable Lewis adducts with BH3 and NH3 . This compound facilitates the dehydrocoupling of the ammonia-borane adduct by unusual NH bond activation and elimination of dihydrogen at the boron center, and it is a very active main-group-based FLP catalyst for the dehydrogenation of amine-borane H3 B⋅NMe2 H.
