A comparative study of frustration in Al/P and B/P-based intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs

Key Points

• Frustration levels varied significantly based on bridging units used in the Lewis pairs, impacting reactivity.
• Key findings indicated that specific bridging units enhance the reactivity of Al/P and B/P intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs.
• The systematic comparison provides insights into designing more efficient frustrated Lewis pairs for future applications.
• Understanding these design principles is crucial for developing the next generation of effective Lewis pairs.
