Abstract
This review discusses in detail “calixarenes” since their discovery as
by-products of the phenol formaldehyde bakelites till the present scenario
wherein calixarene has assumed a new dimension in the field of
supramolecular chemistry. Extensive literature exists for calixarenes; but
herein we have tried to concentrate on the different lower-rim modified
calixarenes with their potential applications. An attempt has also been made
to critically evaluate the synthesis procedures for different lower-rim
substituted calixarenes.
