Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The cover picture shows the time dependent heat release for the catalytic reduction of diphenylethylene by the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) composed of diethyl ether and tris(pentafluorophenyl borane), first reported by Hounjet and co‐workers (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 7492). The modified Calvet calorimeter vessels described by Karkamkar et al. (Dalton Trans. 2013, 42, 615) provide an experimental approach to simultaneous measure of enthalpic driving force and rate of reduction in FLP catalysis.
