Reversible binding of CO2… can be realized with borane–phosphane frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). In their Communication on page 6643 ff. , G. Erker et al. describe how the greenhouse gas CO 2 is captured to form both cyclic and acyclic adducts through PC and OB bond formation. The reaction is reversed and CO 2 released when the temperature of the solution is raised. Theoretical analysis describes CO 2 binding by FLPs as a synchronous concerted reaction.
