Organometallic catalysis is a powerful strategy in chemical
synthesis,
especially with the cheap and low toxic metals based on green chemistry
principle. Thus, the selection of the metal is particularly important
to plan relevant and applicable processes. The group VB metals have
been the subject of exciting and significant advances in both organic
and inorganic synthesis. In this Review, we have summarized some reports
from recent decades, which are about the development of group VB metals
utilized in various types of reactions, such as oxidation, reduction,
alkylation, dealkylation, polymerization, aromatization, protein synthesis,
and practical water splitting.
