description

Due to the nonplanarity of the basic 1 n -metacyclophane system, calixarenes and resorcarenes can be transformed into molecules with inherent chirality. Various attempts to achieve this goal are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to derivatives with C n -symmetry, including derivatives of spherand calixarenes and other calixarene-like macrocycles.
