A classical Lewis adduct derives from a covalent bond between a Lewis acid and a base. When the adduct formation is precluded by means of steric hindrance the association of the respective acid‐base molecular system is defined as a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP). In this work, the archetypal FLP Mes3P/...
