Published in: Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) (2020)

Frustrated Lewis pairs consisting of diphenylphosphino and boryl groups located at the ortho-position can trap difluorocarbene affording stable zwitterionic adducts. The reaction can be reversed to release difluorocarbene at elevated temperatures.
