Abstract

This review endeavours to explore the power of quantum chemistry, especially density functional theory (DFT) to unravel mechanisms underlying the fascinating field of FLP chemistry. Apart from the fundamental mechanism of hydrogen activation by FLPs, borylation, silylation, polymerization, formation of heterocycles, reaction with small gaseous molecules, alkenes, terminal alkynes have also been reviewed. The role of DFT in understanding regio-selectivity, steric effects, London dispersion and covalent Interactions in FLPs are also discussed.
