Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Laughing about frustration</bold>: Frustrated Lewis pairs comprising a bulky tertiary phosphine and a strongly Lewis acidic ferrocenyl borane (FcB(C₆F₅)₂) have been investigated for the colorimetric/electrochemical detection of N₂O. One such system, based on <italic>t</italic>Bu₃P/FcB(C₆F₅)₂, not only signals the presence of N₂O, but also has the ability to differentiate between N₂O and O₂.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t3hx7vw" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
