Described herein are compositions composed of frustrated Lewis pairs impregnated in porous materials such as, for example, metal-organic frameworks, and their uses thereof. These compositions may allow new applications of frustrated Lewis pairs in catalysis by sequestering and protecting the frustrated Lewis pair within the nanospace of the porous material. Also provided are methods of hydrogenating an organic compound having at least one unsaturated functional group comprising using the compositions described herein. |
