Frustrated delivery: Frustrated Lewis pairs derived from tBu3P and Al(C6F5)3 activate H2 to give [tBu3PH][(μ-H)(Al(C6F5)3)2], which reacts with unactivated olefins to give RAl(C6F5)2 (R=Et or Cy) and [tBu3PH][Al(C6F5)4]. The proposed mechanism involves olefin activation by aluminum, which is supported by the isolation of the cyclohexene complex [Al(C6F5)3⋅(C6H10)].
