Abstract

Abstract : An ansa‐aminoborane an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair with the smallest Lewis acidic boryl site (BH2 ), predominantly exists in quenched dimeric form in solution. A monomeric species accountable for hydrogen activation is also present in equilibrium. In their Communication onpage 1749 ff., I. Pápai, T. Repo et al. describe the reactivity of this frustrated Lewis pair towards H2 and the corresponding reaction mechanism.
