Abstract
The use of FLPs offers a new and versatile strategy to activate small molecules such as H2, CO2, acetylenes, disulfides, olefins, and nitrogen oxides. This chapter describes the recent advances reported on the design and reactivity of new frustrated systems constituted by at least one carbon-based partner.
