Recent advances in heterogeneous frustrated lewis pair : synthesis, characterization, and catalysis

Abstract

Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) in heterogeneous chemistry have garnered tremendous attention in recent years owing to their diverse structural designs and outstanding activation ability for small molecules. The ability to tailor the structure of FLP enables precise control over their reactivity and selectivity, paving the way for the creation of catalysts for specific reactions. This review offers an in-depth examination of the design, characterization, and application of FLP within heterogeneous systems over the past few years. The current challenges in developing solid FLP catalysts are discussed. Furthermore, future potential advancements are explored, considering how emerging technologies and innovative approaches could enhance the design, advance characterization, and application of FLP in heterogeneous chemistry. Through this detailed overview, it is aimed to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of FLP research and its implications for the future applications in catalysis.
