“…As the applications of chemically modified calixarenes/thiacalixarenes, several researchers have attempted to prepare various extractants and chelating adsorbents for alkali/transition metal cations and anions, either by transforming into oligomeric/polymeric structures or by immobilizing them onto solid support materials [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. Although quite a number of reports exist on monomeric thiacalixarenes as mentioned above, those on the oligomeric/polymeric thiacalixarenes are very limited.…”
