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.
