Abstract

The syntheses and fascinating properties of calix[4]arene derivatives in the 1,3-alternate conformation are reviewed. Particular attention is given to the supramolecular chemistry and applications in nanochemistry of such calixarenes.

Keywords: Calix[4]arenes, 1,3-alternate conformation, synthesis, complexation, applications
