Navigating the Mechanistic Controversy of Frustrated Lewis Pairs

Portrait of Jace Jin, speaker
Date & Time:

Location:
iSTEM Building 2, Room 1218

Since its first discovery in 2006, Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) have attracted widespread attention for their ability to activate small molecules without transition metals. However, the exact mechanism of this activation remains a subject of debate. This seminar compares the two mechanistic models (the electron transfer (ET) and electric field (EF) models) and investigates the underlying physics governing these systems.
