[Bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphanyl]phenylacetylene (4) undergoes a regioselective hydroboration reaction with HB(C6F5)2 to yield the geminal frustrated Lewis pair 5 that bears pairs of strongly electronwithdrawing C6F5 substituents at both boron and phosphorus. The X-ray crystal structure analysis has revealed that there is no direct PeB interaction in 5. This has been confirmed by both solid state and solution NMR spectroscopy. The non-interacting geminal FLP 5 undergoes 1,2-P/B addition reactions to carbonyl compounds (benzaldehyde, trans-cinnamic aldehyde), to the C=N bond of phenylisocyanate and to the C=C triple bonds of several alkynes (1-pentyne, phenylacetylene, 4-octyne). The frustrated Lewis pair 5 and several reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction.
