Pincer complexes are useful tools for organic synthesis. Their high stability and easy functionalization have allowed the development of novel catalytic systems that have had a tremendous impact in different areas of chemistry. Thus, catalytic reactions are nowadays a fundamental part of several synthetic routes, as they allow “greener” procedures with high atom efficiency. In this context, pincer complexes have contributed to the establishment of novel and efficient catalytic reactions. Thus, herein we summarize the most recent relevant advances involving pincer complexes as catalysts.
