Title: Solid Molecular Frustrated Lewis Pairs in a Polyamine Organic Framework for the Catalytic Metal‐free Hydrogenation of Alkenes

Abstract

Abstract We report for the first time a metal‐free heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation using a semi‐solid frustrated Lewis pair (FLP). The catalyst consists of a solid polyamine organic framework and molecular tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF) that form a semi‐immobilized FLP in situ in the catalytic hydrogenation of diethyl benzylidenemalonate. 11 B NMR spectroscopy proves the successful hydrogen activation by the FLP. Furthermore, the B−N interactions between the polyamine and BCF are investigated by IR and solid state NMR spectroscopy. The FLP 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)/BCF, which combines the features of a FLP and a classical Lewis adduct, functions as molecular reference in both, catalysis and characterization. Furthermore, computational studies enable a better insight into the hydrogen activation through DABCO/BCF and polyamine/BCF.
