Cover Feature: Frustrated Lewis pair‐catalyzed hydrogenation of unactivated alkenes with sterically hindered 9‐phosphatriptycenes (ChemCatChem 13/2022).

In their Research Article, D. Mahaut et al. take advantage of the weak basicity of 9-phosphatriptycene derivatives in frustrated Lewis pair catalysis to perform the metal-free hydrogenation of unactivated alkenes.
