The reaction of t Bu 2 P(O)H with Bis 2 AlH (Bis = CH(SiMe 3 ) 2 ) afforded the adduct t Bu 2 P(H)OAl(H)Bis 2 ( 3 ). It slowly releases H 2 to form the first oxygen-bridged geminal Al/P frustrated Lewis pair t Bu 2 POAlBis 2 . It is capable of reversibly binding molecular hydrogen to afford 3 , show...
