title: Chiral monophosphines as ligands for asymmetric organometallic catalysis.
abstract: Chelating chiral diphosphines are often used as ligands of organometallic complexes. However monophosphines, or more generally ligands with one phosphorus linked to one or several heteroatom, may also be useful. This review gives the main results obtained in that area, by considering the classes of monodentate chiral ligands bearing one P(III) atom and involved in asymmetric catalysis with organometallic complexes.
