Abstract
A highly Lewis acidic diphosphonium dication [(C10H6)(Ph2P)2]2+ (1), in combination with a Lewis basic phosphine, acts as a purely phosphorus-based frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) and abstracts hydride from [HB(C6F5)3]- and Et3SiH demonstrating the remarkable hydridophilicity of 1. The P-based FLP is also shown to activate H2 and C-H bonds.
