Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>A magician</bold> </italic> is looking into his crystal ball to read the future of a Lewis acid–base adduct. When his hand (an external stimulus) catches and rotates the phosphine oxide moiety, a highly active frustrated Lewis pair is formed in a process that is studied by S. Ogoshi, Y. Hoshimoto et al. in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 11666 ff.</ext-link> This reactivation of frustration (and the high reactivity) is shown as a cracking of the crystal ball.<graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2rgrzwx5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
