    Facile Reversibility by Design: Tuning Small Molecule Capture and Activation by Single Component Frustrated Lewis Pairs

    No full text
    A series of single component FLPs has been investigated for small molecule capture, with the finding that through tuning of both the thermodynamics of binding/activation and the degree of preorganization (i.e., Δ<i>S</i><sup>⧧</sup>) reversibility can be brought about at (or close to) room temperature. Thus, the dimethylxanthene system {(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(O)­CMe<sub>2</sub>}­(PMes<sub>2</sub>)­(B­(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>): (i) heterolytically cleaves dihydrogen to give an equilibrium mixture of FLP and H<sub>2</sub> activation product in solution at room temperature and (ii) reversibly captures nitrous oxide (uptake at room temperature, 1 atm; release at 323 K)
