What makes an FLP a good catalyst? Thus far, a number of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are reported in the literature, but not all of them activate molecular hydrogen. This phenomenon has been addressed by the physical‐organic investigation of the Lewis base as component in an FLP catalyst. The FLP′s performance in the autoinduced hydrogenation is intrinsically dependent on the electron‐donating ability of the Lewis base providing a detailed structure–reactivity relationship in FLP catalysis.
