•Nanocatalysis shows potentially promising performances in organic synthesis such as CC homo- and cross-coupling reactions.•Transition metal nanoparticles-based catalysts demonstrate high activity for the CB, HB, and BB bonds breaking in boron involved chemical conversions.•Advanced developments of the unique technology will definitely lead to various applications in fine chemistry and material chemistry.
Considerable progress has been made in the application of transition metal nanoparticles (NP)-based catalysts in boron chemistry. These offer the advantages of high efficiency and good recyclability. Existing drawbacks need to be addressed before use in industrial applications. This review updates the latest progress in the area of nano-catalysis in boron chemistry, such as catalytic break-down and formation of CB bonds in arenes (e.g., Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction), isotopic exchanges in HB, BB and IB containing molecules, and dehydrogenation of boron compounds.
