Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

Abstract Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases in
solution that are deterred from strong adduct formation by steric and/or electronic factors …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) decomposition is increasingly acknowledged as a viable strategy for
mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ozone depletion, aligning significantly …

The articulation of the notion of “frustrated Lewis pairs”(FLPs), which emerged from the
discovery that H2 can be reversibly activated by combinations of sterically encumbered …

Frustrated Lewis pairs have been used to activate a variety of small molecules. In this review
we focus on the recent chemistry of FLPs with CO2, CO, N2O, NO and SO2. While FLP …

Abstract Der Begriff “frustrierte Lewis‐Paare”(FLPs) bezeichnet Kombinationen von Lewis‐
Säuren und Lewis‐Basen in Lösung, die aufgrund sterischer oder elektronischer Faktoren …

Herein we present the catalytic activation of N2O at a BiI⇄ BiIII redox platform. The activation
of such a kinetically inert molecule was achieved by the use of bismuthinidene catalysts …

Conspectus Persistent radicals are potential building blocks of novel materials in many
fields. Recently, highly stable persistent radicals are considered to be within reach, thanks to …

Imidazolin-2-imines represent a particularly basic and nucleophilic subclass of guanidines,
and a large variety of these N-donor ligands have become available, inter alia, by the …
