Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept.

In many biochemical processes, different catalytic species, such as Lewis acids and bases, are involved in precisely orchestrated interactions to activate reactants simultaneously or sequentially.

The frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) concept, introduced in the mid-2000s ... An FLP consists of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base ...

This study proposes a strategy to regulate the electrode-electrolyte interface using Lewis-base ligand molecules. It involves adding trace amounts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid molecules and ...

In a recent study, researchers used a concept called 'frustrated ... of two components -- one acting as a Lewis acid and the other as a Lewis base -- that are unable to fully react with each ...

In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor. A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron ...
