•Acylpyrazolone ligands synthesis, structure and substituents.•Acylpyrazolone ligands biological properties.•Metal complexes of acylpyrazolones and their potential appplications.
This review is aimed at updating the current advance of metal complexes bearing acylpyrazolonate ligands. Novel synthetic procedures for acylpyrazolones are reported together with a survey of the ligands biological properties. All the literature since 2005 on metal complexes (main group, transition, lanthanide and actinide metals) containing acylpyrazolones is reported together with a discussion on their main structural features and field of potential applications.
Graphical abstractAcylpyrazolone ligands can be easily functionalized and allowed the synthesis of complexes with the most part of metal elements of the periodic table. Progresses in their coordination chemistry and potential applications of metal complexes since 2005 are reviewed.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload high-quality image (174 K)Download as PowerPoint slide
