While the early days of FLP chemistry witnessed the dominance of boranes, there is a growing body of reports on alternative Lewis acids derived from groups 14 and 15. This short review focuses on the discovery of such non-boron candidates reported since 2015.Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistryalternative lewis acidsfrustrated lewis pairsgroup 14 lewis acidsgroup 15 lewis acidsnon-boron lewis acidsheterolytic dihydrogen activationsigma-bond activationhydrogen activationcatalyzed hydrogenationh-2 activationsi-hreactivitymechanismsaltsflptext::journal::journal article::review article
