The Lewis acids Ga(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, In(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> and Ga(C<sub>6</sub>Cl<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> are prepared and their Lewis acidity has been probed experimentally and computationally. The species Ga(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> and In(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> in conjunction with phosphine donors are shown to heterolytically split H<sub>2</sub> and catalyse the hydrogenation of an imine. In addition, frustrated Lewi ...[more]
