Inside Cover: Structure–Reactivity Relationship in the Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP)‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Imines (Chem. Eur. J. 22/2016)

What makes an FLP a good catalyst? Thus far, a number of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are reported in the literature, but not all of them activate molecular hydrogen. This phenomenon has been addressed by the physical-organic investigation of the Lewis base as component in an FLP catalyst. The FLP′s performance in the autoinduced hydrogenation is intrinsically dependent on the electron-donating ability of the Lewis base providing a detailed structure–reactivity relationship in FLP catalysis.
