Transition Metal Frustrated Lewis Pairs

Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry, in which solution phase combinations of Lewis acid Lewis base pairs (FLPs) act cooperatively to activate small molecules, is one of the most exciting recent developments in main group chemistry. Far less developed but of growing interest are FLP systems containing transition metals as one of the Lewis acid/base components. This Perspective reviews recent developments in this area and makes connections to existing research into cooperative and ligand assisted catalysis.
