      abstract = {This book covers whole aspects of the sulfur isologues of  amides. Starting from the synthetic methods of thioamides,  a range of synthetic applications to the construction of  carbon–sulfur and carbon–carbon bonds, to asymmetric  reactions, to formation of heterocycles are described.  Among the array of thiocarbonyl compounds, thioamides are  readily handled in room temperature air. Some of their  characteristic features are that the polarity of C=S bonds  in thioamides is much smaller than C=O bonds in ordinary  amides, that thioamides possess higher HOMO and lower LUMO  when compared with those of ordinary amides, and that  carbon atoms alpha to the C=S and nitrogen atoms in  thioamides are more acidic than those in ordinary amides.  Theoretical studies further disclose their features.  Thioamides are also used as ligands to a wide variety of  metals. Their unique photophysical properties and catalytic  activities are described here. Characteristic features of  biologically relevant thioamides, e.g., thiopeptides and  related compounds, are the final focus of the book.},
