Cooperative Lewis pairs in small molecule activation and dehydrocoupling of amine- and phosphine-boranes

This thesis contains a diverse body of work based around the theme of Lewis acid/base chemistry. The reactivity of classical Lewis adducts, such as amine- and phosphine-boranes, has been investigated in addition to the more nascent field of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). Chapter 1 contains a brief o...
