  text: '<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We report on so‐called “hidden FLPs”
    (FLP: frustrated Lewis pair) consisting of a phosphorus ylide featuring a group
    13 fragment in the <jats:italic>ortho</jats:italic> position of a phenyl ring
    scaffold to form five‐membered ring structures. Although the formation of the
    Lewis acid/base adducts was observed in the solid state, most of the title compounds
    readily react with carbon dioxide to provide stable insertion products. Strikingly,
    0.3–3.0 mol% of the reported aluminum and gallium/carbon‐based ambiphiles catalyze
    the reduction of CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> to methanol with satisfactory high selectivity
    and yields using pinacol borane as stoichiometric reduction equivalent. Comprehensive
    computational studies provided valuable mechanistic insights and shed more light
    on activity differences.</jats:p>'
