Scholar-generated biography
Doug Stephan is a University Professor and J.C. Polanyi Chair of Chemistry at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on FLPs main group chemistry, particularly the development and application of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) in catalytic processes. His work explores metal-free hydrogen activation, carbon dioxide binding, and the reactivity of phosphines, boranes, and other main group compounds. Stephan's research has significantly advanced the field of FLP chemistry, including its use in hydrogenation reactions, CO2 reduction, and three-component reactions. His publications highlight the potential of FLPs in sustainable chemistry and catalysis.
