In this article, recent developments regarding the organometallic chemistry of boron-containing pincer ligands, especially in which a boron coordinated to transition metal center as an anionic σ-donor ligand, are reviewed. Boron-based pincer ligands can be subdivided into three main classes; diazaborole-, carborane-, and diarylboryl-ligand. All the papers relevant to such boron-based pincer ligands that have been published since 2009 are included in this review, which also summarizes applications of transitionmetal complexes bearing such boron-containing pincer ligands in catalytic and/or bond-cleavage reactions.
