Cleaved by frustration , an H 2 molecule inserts into the void between the components of the frustrated Lewis pair 1 , which consists of a dicationic ruthenium pincer complex as the Lewis acid and ( t Bu) 3 P as the Lewis base. The end‐on‐coordinated N 2 in 1 accepts the hydride, and this is the initial step, which could, in principle, lead to the complete reduction of N 2 to NH 3 .
