DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nOver the last 17 years\, the concept of frustrated
  Lewis pairs (FLPs)[1] has emerged as an approach to transition metal-free
  hydrogenations as well as the activation of a wide range of small molecul
 es. Indeed\, the catalytic reductions of a wide variety of organic substra
 tes\, as well as the elegance of enantioselective metal-free hydrogenation
 s have been developed. FLPs also react with or capture a wide variety of s
 mall molecules and the reactivity of C-H bonds\, CO2\, CO\, SO2\, N2O olef
 ins\, and alkynes\, diazomethanes\, and other N2-species. In these efforts
 \, a wide range of combinations of Lewis acids and bases have been employe
 d from alkali metal species to inert gas derivatives and applied in both s
 toichiometric and catalytic processes. In this lecture\, we will describe 
 select examples\, affirming that the concept of FLPs is a general strategy
  for reactivity.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\n Doug Stephan\, born in Hamilton\, gradua
 ted with his BSc at McMaster (1976) and completed his PhD at UWO (1980). H
 e then held a NATO PDF at Harvard\, before beginning his independent caree
 r at the University of Windsor (1982). He was promoted to Associate Profes
 sor (1985)\, full Professor(1992) and named a NSERC Industrial Research Ch
 air (2001)\, University Professor (2002)\, Canada Research Chair (2005)\, 
 and Department Head (2003-2006). In 2008 he moved to the University of Tor
 onto as a Professor and Canada Research Chair and in 2018\, he was appoint
 ed University Professor. He was an Einstein Visiting Fellow at TU-Berlin f
 rom 20216-2019 and in 2020\, he established an additional satellite labora
 tory at Ningbo University as a Zhedong Scholar Chair Professor. He was an 
 Associated Editor for Chemical Society Reviews for 6 years\, the Chair of 
 the editorial board and is now Chair of the editorial board of Chemical Co
 mmunications. In 2023\, he was named the John C. Polanyi Chair of Chemistr
 y at the University of Toronto.\n
