Organobismuth chemistry is becoming more attractive since Bi is relatively low in price, toxicity and radioactivity, and many organobismuth compounds have found applications in medicine, catalysis, cosmetic, electronic technology, etc. Especially, it has undergone great changes in the past decade, and the research achievements are worthy of being summarized. This review on organobismuth chemistry is carried out as the following four aspects: (1) the molecular structure characteristics and synthesis of new organobismuth compounds; (2) as reagents for cross-coupling, oxidation, arylation, and ot...
