Title: Calixarenes
Literature References: Molecular baskets into which smaller molecules can fit. Name is derived from the Greek "calix" for "chalice" or "cup" and arene for the aryl residues; the name originally referred to the phenolic tetramer linked by methylene groups. The nomenclature uses calix[n]arene where n is the number of the aryl groups. Modifications to the phenol are indicated by prefixes; whereas total changes of the aryl group are indicated in front of the "arene". Prepn: A. Zinke, E. Ziegler, Ber. 77, 264 (1944); A.
