Abstract
This chapter described the application of the concept of FLPs in new and unexplored reactivity with dihydrogen beyond organic reductions. The use of this reactivity to generate radicals, effect transfer hydrogenations or dehydrogenation, and the applications of hydrogenation for small-molecule substrates such as CO, CO2 and N2 are considered. In addition, the relevance of FLP reactivity to enzymatic systems, supported FLP catalysts, solid-state reactivity, and heterogeneous catalysts is also considered. These additional directions of growth and applications of FLP–dihydrogen reactivity further affirm the potential of FLP chemistry as a new axiom of chemical reactivity.
