title: Discovery of indium complexes as water-tolerant Lewis acids.
abstract: The work on development of organic reactions that are tolerant to air and moisture, especially that of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, had only started in the early 1990s. Our laboratory had approached this subject when it was still in its infancy and had developed methodologies for that end. In this article, our decade of work on indium complexes as Lewis acids is summarised.
