A growing interest has been devoted to the development of host systems for ionic and neutral species based on calixarenes. These cyclic oligomers show important host-guest properties, which has led to numerous applications in a broad range of fields, including organocatalysis, sensing, extraction and separation, and, more recently, biomedical applications. The relative ease of the functionalization of their upper and lower rims and the presence of a pre-organized cavity that is available in different sizes and conformations make calixarenes attractive building blocks for the construction of supramolecular assemblies. This book presents the most recent developments on the host-guest properties of calixarenes, as well as the new synthetic methods and applications.

Calixarenes in Action is unique among books devoted to this interesting class of synthetic macrocycles. Rather than emphasizing the molecular properties of calixarenes, it covers in depth their supramolecular functions, enlightening the reader as to the peculiar features of calixarenes as hosts and as platforms for the synthesis of more complex receptors and catalysts. Topics covered in detail include the use of calixarenes in:molecular modeling of calixarenesnon-covalent interactionscrystal engineeringcation recognitionanion recognitionsupramolecular devicesnew materialsself-assembly processessupramolecular catalysisThe interest in calixarenes has grown tremendously in the last few years and this book reports, for each topic, the most recent literature critically evaluated by active researchers in the field. Calixarenes in Action is a valuable reference book for researchers in organic, inorganic, analytical and environmental chemistry and can serve as a graduate-level text for students of supramolecular science and technology.

Calixarenes was the first book to be published in the `Monographs in Supramolecular Chemistry' series and is also the first complete survey available of this rapidly developing field. It provides a fascinating and lively account of the history, development and applications of calixarenes, which are probably the world's most readily available synthetic molecular baskets. These basket shaped compounds possess the ability to hold metal ions, as well as molecules, in their interior and as a result of their extraordinarily easy synthesis from phenols and aldehydes are receiving increasingly wide attention. This book is a must for advanced undergraduates and post-graduates studying bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry.
