The review demonstrates the progress in the The review demonstrates the progress in the chemistry of calix[4]resorcinarenes over the last decade. chemistry of calix[4]resorcinarenes over the last decade. Special attention is paid to their synthesis, conformational Special attention is paid to their synthesis, conformational behaviour, functionalization and ability to serve as cavi-behaviour, functionalization and ability to serve as cavitands and capsules, to form monolayers and host ± guest tands and capsules, to form monolayers and host ± guest complexes. Practical applications of calix[4]resorcinarenes complexes. Practical applications of calix[4]resorcinarenes and their derivatives in various fields are surveyed. The and their derivatives in various fields are surveyed. The bibliography includes 296 references bibliography includes 296 references.

The supramolecular approach to the phase transfer of carboxylic calixresorcinarene-capped silver nanoparticles

“…The upper and lower rims of the calix [4]resorcinarenes' cavity can be easily functionalized and modified calix [4]resorcinarenes can be used as a receptor for various guest molecules [33].…”

Enthalpies of solution of C-alkylresorcin[4]arenes in alcohols at T= 298.15 K

“…The versatility of these compounds has been widely documented and they are quite important in supramolecular chemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Studies related to the synthesis, conformational properties and applications in (host + guest) systems of C-alkylresorcin [4]arenes and their derivatives have been reported in the literature [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Predominant hosting lead(II) in ternary mixtures of heavy metal ions by a novel of diethylaminomethyl-calix[4]resorcinarene

“…The cavity size of calix[4]resorcinarene was 2.59 Å (Gutsche 1989), although the respective ion diameters of Cu(II) and Ni(II) were 0.73 and 0.69 Å . Therefore, Pb(II) was the right choice to fix into the cone shape of the N-host and DAhost, in contrast to Cu(II) and Ni(II) (Jain and Kanaiya 2011;Turshatov et al 2004). …”
