“…Similarly, thiacalixarenes, in which the methylene of the calixarene is replaced by a sulfur atom [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]; azacalixarenes, in which the methylene is replaced by a nitrogen atom [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]; and homoxacalixarenes, in which a -CH 2 O- unit is inserted [ 20 , 21 ], have been widely studied. However, in this review, only homoazacalixarenes are considered, referred to as azacalixarene, not homoazacalixarene, unless it is necessary.…”
