Calixarenes (100)

Calixarenes are a group of macrocyclic compounds characterized by their bowl-shaped structure composed of multiple aromatic rings. These compounds function as supramolecular hosts, capable of binding and transporting guest molecules within their cavities. By introducing chemical modifications, the size and shape of the calixarene cavity can be adjusted, making them highly adaptable for various applications. Calixarenes are commonly employed in the separation and purification of chiral compounds and in the development of drug delivery systems. Additionally, their ability to selectively and sensitively bind specific analytes makes them valuable as sensors and biosensors.
