Systematic pnictogen variation (P, As, Sb, Bi) in PnMes3–B(C6F5)3 Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) reveals how both the energy and intensity of charge–transfer excitation can be tuned. Increasing pnictogen–boron orbital overlap and dispersion enhances oscillator strength and encounters complex stability, enabling higher radical ion pair concentrations ...

Novel iPrRu‐MACHO Salts: Synthesis and Catalytic Applications With Diverse H‐Trans Ligands
We report novel trans‐L monohydrido iPrRu‐MACHO derivatives as precatalysts operating under mild conditions with high activity and selectivity. Their performance in CO2 hydrogenation, formic acid dehydrogenation, and levulinic acid hydrogenation was evaluated and compared to the commercial iPrRu‐MACHO precursor, offering improved catalytic efficiency ...
