Two new ligands ( 1  and  2 ) for actinide/lanthanide separation derived from calix[6]- and calix[8]arenes functionalised at the upper rim with six or eight CMPO binding units were synthesised. These ligands, having a methoxy group at the lower rim, are conformationally mobile in solution at room temperature. Extraction data from water to a NPHE/ n -octanol (90/10) solution of ligands  1  and  2 , in the presence of bromo-cosan as synergist, show that these derivatives are less efficient and selective than the previously reported homologues derived from calix[4]arenes or from the lower rim CMPO calix[6]- and calix[8]arenes, especially at high nitric acid concentrations. However, although compound  1  and  2  do not appear promising for the actinide/lanthanide separation from high acidity radioactive waste, the results obtained in this work disclose some important structural results which can be useful for the design of new efficient and selective polytopic ligands.
