This reaction is shown below. In this reaction the ferric ion (Fe 3+) is acting as a Lewis Acid and the oxalate anion (C 2 O 4 2-) as a Lewis Base. A Lewis Acid is an electron pair acceptor and a ...
An FLP is made up of a combination of two components -- one acting as a Lewis acid and the other as a Lewis base -- that are unable to fully react with each other due to spatial or electronic ...
An FLP consists of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base that cannot fully react with each other due to spatial or electronic constraints. This "frustration" creates a highly reactive state, allowing ...
