Silyl-migrations in frustrated Lewis pair chemistry: reactions of ((CH3)3Si)3P and B(C6F4H)3 with H2 and CO2.
The 1 : 1 mixture of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine and tris(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borane behaves as frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) and shows H(2) and sequential two-step double CO(2) activation with subsequent Me(3)Si group transfer.
