Calixarenes, pillararenes and their analogues are composed of hydroxy-or alkoxy-substituted aromatic rings bridged by methylene or methenyl groups, which can be collectively called as macrocyclic arenes. Macrocyclic arenes have attracted much attention and increasing interests because of their unique structures, easily synthesis and derivatization, electron-rich cavities and wide applications in supramolecular chemistry, and they have also become one of the most significant and studied synthetic macrocyclic hosts during the last decades. Recently, with the rapid development of macrocycles and supramolecular chemistry, various types of novel macrocyclic arenes except the classic macrocyclic arenes such as calixarenes and pillararenes have been reported. The construction and functionalization of novel macrocyclic arenes have become the new focus and hot topic of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry. The recent advances in the synthesis and properties of novel macrocyclic arenes are summarized. It is expected that this review will be helpful to the research of macrocyclic arenes and promote the development of macrocyclic arene chemistry.
