The concept of Lewis acids and bases presented in general chemistry has been reinvigorated in the current chemical literature with the recent discovery of �frustrated Lewis pairs.�  This concept, using non-interacting Lewis acids and bases, exhibits unique and unexpected chemistry.  This AEI Poster will describe how this fundamental general chemistry concept of Lewis acid/base chemistry can be used in the development and understanding in the current research areas of catalytic H2, O2, and N2 activation and their energy related transformations.
