MORALES-MORALES, David. Pincer Complexes: Applications in Catalysis. Rev. Soc. Quím. Méx [online]. 2004, vol.48, n.4, pp.338-346. ISSN 0583-7693.

In the recent years the development of complexes having in its structure pincer type ligands has received considerable attention. Now a days these complexes are designed and synthesized not just for the mere structural interest, but for the great number of potential applications that these compounds may have, including their use as robust catalysts, motifs in molecules that exhibit self assembly arrangements, synthons for their employment in Medicinal Chemistry and as fundamental components in the synthesis of dendrimeric materials for their potential use in catalysis. Thus, the present review shows the multiple applications that the pincer complexes have had in particular in the area of catalysis and the future perspectives of applications of these compounds in chemistry.
