Correction: Nitro-redox reactions at a frustrated borane/phosphane Lewis pair

Area of Science:

• Chemistry
• Inorganic Chemistry
• Organic Chemistry

Background:

• Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are reactive species that do not form classical adducts.
• Borane and phosphine compounds are key components in FLP chemistry.
• Nitro-redox reactions involve the reduction or oxidation of nitro groups.
