Constraints and Forces for p-Block Element Mediated Bond Activation and Catalysis
Enabling p-block element species for challenging bond activations is crucial for advancing sustainable alternatives to transition metal catalysis. Even more transformative are concepts that guide reactivity in a generalizable manner and for cross-disciplinary impact. While sub-valent species or Frustrated Lewis pairs served as foundational paradigms for p-block-mediated bond activation in recent decades, the structural constraint strategy is emerging as a groundbreaking third approach. However, its fragmented and uncoordinated exploration has limited its broader potential and interdisciplinarity. CONSTRAINOPHORES will consolidate this concept by defining constrainophores ("constrain" +…
