Intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair mediated approach to the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bond activation and cleavage of carbon dioxide

Abstract

A thermally stable FLP-CO2 adduct of pronounced nucleophilic properties that forms a range of Lewis acid–base adducts with strong Lewis acids is reported. Upon addition of Tf2O, it generates a cationic triflate, which undergoes C–O bond cleavage to give the formal FLP adduct of the elusive dication C2O32+.
