Hydroboration of the electron poor phosphine (1-propenyl)P(C(6)F(5))(2) with Piers' borane [HB(C(6)F(5))(2)] gave the geminal frustrated Lewis pair (C(6)F(5))(2)P-CH(Et)-B(C(6)F(5))(2). It undergoes 1,2-addition reactions to an alkene and an alkyne and to the C=N bond of an isocyanate. With mesityl azide it undergoes a 1,3-addition reaction.
