A formal N-heterocyclic carbene insertion into the B–H bond of 9-BBN followed by a ring expansion reaction is reported. NHC-9-BBN adducts were reacted in one or two steps to give the corresponding di- or triazaborines. Hydride abstraction of selected species with [Ph3C]+ is facile, giving rise to 6π-aromatic cations with Lewis acidity comparable to Lewis acids commonly employed in frustrated Lewis pairs.

The Lewis acids Ga(C 6 F 5 ) 3 , In(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and Ga(C 6 Cl 5 ) 3 are prepared and their Lewis acidity has been probed experimentally and computationally. The species Ga(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and In(C 6 F 5 ) 3 in conjunction with phosphine donors are shown to heterolytically split H 2 and catalyse the hydrogenation of an imine. In addition, frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) derived from Ga(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and In(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and phosphines react with diphenyldisulfide to phosphoniumgallates or indates of the form [ t Bu 3 PSPh][PhSE(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] and [ t Bu 3 PSPh][(μ-SPh)(E(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ) 2 ] (E = Ga, In). The potential of the FLPs based on Ga(C 6 F 5 ) 3 , In(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and Ga(C 6 Cl 5 ) 3 and phosphines is also shown in reactions with phenylacetylene to give pure or mixtures of the products [ t Bu 3 PH][PhCCE(C 6 X 5 ) 3 ] and R 3 P(Ph)C=C(H)E(C 6 X 5 ) 3 . A number of these species are crystallographically characterized. The implications for the use of these species in FLP chemistry are considered. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry’.

3,5-Bicyclic aryl piperidines are derivatized to generate chiral B/N FLPs. The Lewis acidities were assessed by experimental and computational methods. The activity in HD scrambling and hydrogenation was also assessed. These data demonstrate that a threshold of combined Lewis acidity and basicity is essential to activate H2.

A series of fluorophosphonium salts, [R3PF][X] (R = alkyl or aryl; X = FB(C6F5)3, [B(C6F5)4]), have been prepared by reactions of phosphine/borane frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) with XeF2 or difluorophosphoranes with [Et3Si][B(C6F5)4].
