This article looks at the chemistry surrounding the concept of inherently chiral calixarenes (ICCs), whose synthesis and application have only recently being realised. One challenge in the area of ICC chemistry is the sheer breadth and scope for installing different aspects of inherent chirality. The aim of this article is not to cover every known method, but rather to give the reader an overview of the main themes that have emerged in this area, including more recent additions to the literature. This overview will also touch on the very limited reports on the applications of ICCs which give a glimpse into the potential these compounds may have in future studies.
本文探讨了围绕固有手性杯芳烃（ICC）概念的化学，其合成和应用直到最近才得以实现。ICC化学领域的一个挑战是引入固有手性不同方面的方法范围之广。本文的目的不是涵盖每一种已知方法，而是让读者对该领域出现的主要主题有一个概述，包括文献中最新增加的内容。这个概述还将涉及关于ICC应用的非常有限的报道，这些报道让我们初步了解了这些化合物在未来研究中可能具有的潜力。
