Abstract

Currently, organometallic compounds have gained significant attention due to their diverse applications. Among them, pincer compounds stand out for their high stability, making them ideal candidates as catalysts and for the development of new metallodrugs. This review explores key aspects of these compounds, including synthetic routes,
a detailed description of their structure and the contributions of our research group in homogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and medicinal chemistry, focusing on para-functionalized POCOP pincer compounds.
