Thioaurones are known for more than one hundred years; however, they are relatively less studied. In some way, due to their appealing as a candidate of photoswitchable molecules, they have led to generating considerable interest in the last years. In this literature survey, we report and discuss the recent advancements made in the synthesis, reactivity and applications of the thioaurone derivatives. To a great extent, the review summarizes published works from different databases since 2005.

硫金酮：合成，反应性和生物活性的最新进展。

硫磺素已有一百多年的历史了。但是，它们的研究相对较少。在某种程度上，由于它们作为光可转换分子的候选者而吸引人，因此它们在最近几年引起了极大的兴趣。在这项文献调查中，我们报告并讨论了硫金龙衍生物的合成，反应性和应用方面的最新进展。该审查在很大程度上总结了自2005年以来来自不同数据库的已发表作品。
