Frustrated Lewis pairs: metal-free hydrogen activation and more.
Douglas W. Stephan,Gerhard Erker +1 more
TL;DR: Sterically encumbered Lewis acid and Lewis base combinations do not undergo the ubiquitous neutralization reaction to form "classical" Lewis acid/Lewis base adducts, but both the unquenched Lewis acidity and basicity of such sterically "frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs)" is available to carry out unusual reactions.

Facile heterolytic cleavage of dihydrogen by phosphines and boranes.
TL;DR: The facile heterolytic cleavage of H2 is readily achieved at room temperature by the cooperative action of the Lewis acidic borane and Lewis basic phosphine, where the steric congestion precludes quenching of the acid and base via adduct formation.
