Macrocycles have always played an important role in supramolecular chemistry. Macrocycles with rigid subunits, known as calixarenes, are an important subclass of these compounds. While carbon‐bridged calixarenes have been studied intensively and are used for practical applications, heteroatom‐bridged calixarenes have entered the stage more recently. This review summarizes the current knowledge of synthesis and properties of heteroatom‐bridged calixarenes in the year 2000.
