A kutatási téma leírása:
Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are bulky donor-acceptor systems in which formation of the dative bond is hindered, leading to diverse reactions with small molecules. They are capable, for example, of cleaving molecular hydrogen heterolytically under mild conditions and of catalyzing hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates. Our current research is focused on further development of the model of FLP-type reactivity, on the design of new FLP systems, and on the detailed characterization of FLP-catalyzed hydrogenation processes. In this field, we are collaborating with synthetic chemists.
