P-stereogenic pincer-metal complexes are one of the most interesting pincer type organometallic compounds. Many kinds of this type of complexes were synthesized and used as catalysts in asymmetric catalysis. On the basis of our work in this field, this paper reports the recent progress in P-stereogenic pincer chemistry, including the synthesis of P-stereogenic pincer ligands, the synthesis of P-stereogenic pincer-metal complexes, and the achievements in P-stereogenic pincer-metal complex catalyzed asymmetric s...
