Abstract
Examples of reactivity of carbonyl and phosphoryl compounds controlled by calixarenes are illustrated in this review article. The molecular framework of calixarenes has been widely used as a versatile molecular platform for the dynamic arrangement of one or more structural units working as recognition and/or catalytic sites, in many cases with considerable levels of cooperation. The calixarene cavity itself has also been involved as a recognition unit for inclusion of the substrate or of part-structures of the substrate. Unique reactivity patterns of carbonyl or phosphoryl functional groups organised at the upper or lower rim of calixarenes will also be illustrated.
