When cross-coupling partners meet indolylphosphines

• Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions employing indolylphosphines are summarized.
• Ligand geometries and their catalytic activities toward coupling reaction are described.
• Structures of the metal complexes are discussed.

Indolylphosphines have been successful as unique and efficient ligands for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. This review summarizes the recent decade developments and applications of different coupling partners in these reactions that employ indolylphosphines as supporting ligands. The ligand structural motifs and their specific catalytic activity are discussed.
