Abstract
The generalization of FLP chemistry beyond systems based on boranes is considered. In this chapter, we discuss the broad range of main group as well as systems across the periodic table that demonstrate FLP reactivity with dihydrogen. These findings confirm that the notion of frustration and FLP reactivity is not a niche area but rather a broader chemical concept, that proves useful for the design of novel catalysts for hydrogenation.
