Organobismuth(III) and organobismuth(V) compounds have been used in a variety of C-C bond forming reactions using transition-metal catalysis. Triarylbismuths are the most often used reagents among organobismuth reagents. All three aryl groups of triarylbismuths are potentially used in C-C bond formation, as shown in a number of reactions. Some heterocyclic organobismuth compounds have high potential as useful reagents for C-C bond forming reactions.
