This review article describes the development of the use of aluminum compounds in the chemistry of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) over the last 14 years. It also discusses the synthesis, reactivity and catalytic applications of intermolecular, intramolecular and so‐called hidden FLPs with phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon Lewis bases. The intrinsically higher acidity of aluminum compounds compared to their boron analogs opens up different reaction pathways. The results are presented in a more or less chronological order. It is shown that Al FLPs react with a variety of polar and non‐polar substrates and form both stable adducts and reversibly activate bonds. Consequently, some catalytic applications of the title compounds were presented such as dimerization of alkynes, hydrogenation of tert‑butyl ethylene and imines, C–F bond activation, reduction of CO2, dehydrogenation of amine borane and transfer of ammonia. In addition, various Al FLPs were used as initiators in polymerization reactions.

π‐Conjugation as a Direct Estimate of Lewis Acidity

A computational approach to directly estimate the relative acidity of a given Lewis acid is presented. This approach is based on the strength of the π‐conjugation in trans‐crotonaldehyde‐Lewis acid complexes, the species used in the well‐known Childs’ Lewis acidity scale. It is found that the π‐conjugative strength values given by the Energy Decomposition Analysis – Natural Orbital for Chemical Valence method strongly correlate not only with the variation of the bond lengths in the system, which are greatly affected by the nature of the Lewis acid but also with the downfield shifts experienced by the different nuclei of the conjugated system upon binding to the Lewis acid. These strong correlations indicate that the (easy‐to‐compute) π‐conjugation energies can be used as an alternative Lewis acidity scale.
