Abstract
Frustrated Lewis Pair chemistry has experienced an exponential growth during the last decade, in part due to its high potential in catalysis. However, FLP-mediated catalysis seems to be limited to a reduced number of transformations, which can be attributed to the reluctance of their constituent main group elements to mediate most fundamental elementary reactions. On the contrary, FLP systems based on transition metals appear as a nascent area of chemistry that could overcome those limitations offering great advantages for catalysis.
