Calixarenes represent a fascinating class of macrocycles with several applications in supramolecular chemistry such assynthetic receptors for ion recognition, prototypes of molecular machines and devices and catalysts. In this scenario, larger calix[6]- and calix[8]arenes represent amodular platform to build novel and more efficient organometallic catalysts. Within this digestreview, we aim to survey the latest advancements in this area of research including CC and C—Het bond formations and fundamental inorganic transformations such as ammonia production and carbon dioxide reduction.
