Puppeteering the Reactivity of Frustrated Lewis Pairs toward CO2 via Coordination Dichotomy in Bridging Units
o-Carborane can be regarded as one of the most versatile bridging units for intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs (IFLPs) due to the coordination dichotomy of the cage. The acidity and basicity of the active centres can be modulated to control the thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanistic pathways of the reaction with CO₂ simply by positioning the active centres at different coordination sites on the carborane unit.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
