Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) derived from R3P (R = otol, Mes) and B(C6F5)3 or AlX3 (X = halide, C6F5) add to ethylene. Similarly, the P/B FLP adds across propylene, whereas the P/Al systems react with propylene to effect propylene dimerization via a C鈥揌 bond activation and C鈥揅 bond formation, affording an Al-bound 2-methylpentene complex.
