Abstract: Frustrated Lewis pair(FLP)is a newly emerging term, describing a system that combines sterically hindered Lewis acid and Lewis base fragments in the same molecule or mixture. Because of the steric hindrance the two sites can not combine to form the classic Lewis acid-base adducts, while maintaining unique reactivity towards small molecules. Based on this meaning, we suggest a Chinese translation for this term.

Key words: frustrated Lewis pair, Lewis acid-base adduct, steric hindrance
