Over the last two decades there has been a growing drive towards the development of catalytic processes that do not rely on precious metals. Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are non-toxic, abundant metal-free catalytic systems where an unquenched Lewis acid (LA) and a Lewis base (LB) work cooperatively to activate small molecules (H2 and CO2) for catalytic reactions. However, exactly what makes a good FLP catalyst is difficult to predict. This proposal looks to make a step-change in the understanding of FLP catalysis by employing microwave dielectric spectroscopy to characterise these systems and their reactions. Such an approach provides a unique and creative solution to a fundamental problem in the area of FLP catalysis and calls on an interdisciplinary team which will enable the field to develop.

在过去的二十年里，越来越多的人致力于开发不依赖贵金属的催化工艺。受阻路易斯对(Flp)是一种无毒、丰富的无金属催化体系，其中未猝灭的Lewis酸(LA)和Lewis碱(LB)协同工作以激活小分子(H2和CO2)进行催化反应。然而，究竟什么才是好的FLP催化剂是很难预测的。这项建议希望通过使用微波介电光谱来表征这些体系及其反应，从而改变对FLP催化的理解。这一办法为FLP催化领域的一个根本问题提供了独特和创造性的解决办法，并要求有一个跨学科的团队，使该领域得以发展。
