Popis: The theoretical modeling (DFT) of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) on a biphenylene platform has been carried out and the activation of hydrogen molecules in these systems has been investigated. The possibilities of using these and analogous systems in the reaction of hydrogenation depend on the value of the difference between the Gibbs free energies of the prereaction complex for FLP and hydride forms. The small values of (ΔG) for these stationary states mean that they can exist in catalytic system at equilibrium and in comparable concentrations. A system has good catalytic prospects if the activation energy without taking into consideration the zero-point motion is in the range of ∼20–40 kcal/mol. In this case, one can suppose that hydrogenation would take place in the reasonable range of temperatures.
