Abstract
Open wide! The geminal P/Al-based frustrated Lewis pair (Mes2P)(tBu2Al)CC(H)Ph forms stable Lewis adducts with BH3 and NH3. This compound facilitates the dehydrocoupling of the ammonia–borane adduct by unusual NH 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 H3B⋅NMe2H. Mes=mesityl.
