Calixarenes 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 second edition of the popular title and a must for advanced undergraduates and post-graduates studying bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry.
