Relief from frustration: The sterically demanding carbene 1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolin-2-ylidene and B(C6F5)3, a "frustrated" Lewis pair, is viable system for the activation of CO, HH, CH bonds. However, slow rearrangement to an abnormal carbene–borane adduct allows irreversible formation strong BC bond enables this circumvent frustration at expense its activity.
