Ambiphilic Ligands Unusual Coordination and Reactivity Arising from Lewis Acid Moieties

Ligand Design in Metal Chemistry Reactivity and Catalysis, First Edition. Edited by Mark Stradiotto and Rylan J. Lundgren. 

Hereafter are discussed the most important stmctural modulations achieved to date. 

Donor sites D. Phosphines have been largely privileged here due to their high affinity for mid and late transition metals with which Lewis acids have been mainly associated so far. Practical reasons (easy synthesis and handling, P NMR probe)
