Abstract
Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) which rely on the cooperative action of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, played a prominent role in the advancement of main-group catalysis. While the early days of FLP chemistry witnessed the dominance of boranes, there is a growing body of reports on alternative Lewis acids derived from groups 14 and 15. This short review focuses on the discovery of such non-boron candidates reported since 2015.

Abstract
Catalytic hydroarylation reactions of conjugated dienes are achieved using tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane as a Lewis acid catalyst under mild reaction conditions. This new protocol shows a broad substrate scope for the highly regioselective functionalization of sterically hindered aniline derivatives. Experimental and extensive density functional theory mechanistic studies show that the complex of residual water and B(C6F5)3 plays a crucial role in the aryl-assisted protonation of conjugated dienes, forming allyl cation intermediates that induce the facile electrophilic aromatic substitution of aniline substrates.

Abstract
9,10-Dihydroacridines are frequently encountered as key scaffolds in OLEDs. However, accessing those compounds from feedstock precursors typically requires multiple steps. Herein, a modular one-pot synthesis of 9,10-dihydroacridine frameworks is achieved through a reaction sequence featuring a selective ortho-C alkenylation of diarylamines with aryl alkynes followed by an intramolecular hydroarylation of the olefin formed as an intermediate. This transformation was accomplished by virtue of the combination of hexafluoroisopropanol and triflimide as a catalyst that triggers the whole process.

Abstract
In contrast to transition metal-catalysed C-H functionalisation, highly efficient construction of C-C and C-X (X = N, O, S, B, Si, etc.) bonds through metal-free catalytic C-H functionalisation remains one of the most challenging tasks for synthetic chemists. In recent years, electron-deficient boron-based catalyst systems have exhibited great potential for C-H bond transformations. Such emerging systems may greatly enrich the chemistry of C-H functionalisation and main-group element catalysis, and will also provide enormous opportunities in synthetic chemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical biology. This article aims to give a timely comprehensive overview to recognise the current status of electron-deficient boron-based catalysis in C-H functionalisation and stimulate the development of more efficient catalytic systems.

Abstract
The water/base intolerance of the previously reported electrophilic phosphonium cations has been overcome by replacing the labile electron-withdrawing groups generally attached to phosphorus (e.g. -F, -OAr, -CF3) with methyl groups. Tri-phosphorus(v) tricationic species, accessible in one-pot from commercially available materials, are air and water/base tolerant, yet are sufficiently Lewis acidic for catalysis.

Abstract
Reaction of PPh3 and [(p-ClC6 H4 )N2 ][BF4 ] affords [(p-ClC6 H4 )N(PPh3 )N(PPh3 )][BF4 ] 1, while reaction with (Ph2 PCH2 )2 gave [(p-ClC6 H4 )(NPh2 PCH2 )2 )][BF4 ] 2. These species confirm the Lewis acidity of [(p-ClC6 H4 )N2 (PR3 )][BF4 ] cations at N. In contrast, use of bulky phosphines afford the species [ArN2 (PR3 )][BF4 ] (R=tBu 3, Mes 4). Compound 3 undergoes one electron reduction to give the stable radical [(p-ClC6 H4 )N2 (PtBu3 )]. 5. Combination of 3 and PtBu3 acts as an FLP to effect (SPh)2 cleavage, generating [PhSPtBu3 ]+ and the radical [ArN2 (PR3 )]. . Collectively, these data affirm the ability of the cations [ArN2 (PR3 )]+ to behave as one or two electron acceptors.

Abstract
The global electrophilicity index, GEI, is used as a general, quantitative and base-independent metric of Lewis acidity. This parameter has been benchmarked against the established fluoride ion affinity, FIA, for a range of 22 neutral and cationic Lewis acids from across the p-block, including boranes, trityl derivatives, phosphonium cations and sulfoxonium cations. As a demonstration of utility, the GEI is used to catalogue a library of fluoroaryl boranes as it provides a rapid tool for the comparison of a series of Lewis acids featuring peripheral substituent variation.
