[Display omitted] •Water-soluble ligands and metal complexes are considered valuable tools for sustainable processes in water.•PTA and derivatives have shown interesting properties as ligands in various catalytic applicatons.•In this review article, the latest results published in 2018–2024 on this subject are discussed. In this review article, we present a brief survey of the recent contributions (2018–2024) appeared in the scientific literature, describing the use of the cage-like water-soluble monodentate phosphine 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane (also known as 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphadamantane, PTA), some of its derivatives and a higher homologue as stabilizing ligands for precious and non-precious metal complexes, with various applications in homogeneous catalytic processes in water and biphasic media.
