Bambusurils are macrocyclic compounds based on glycoluril units which are connected by a row of methylene bridges. In contrast to their structurally related macrocycles �cucurbiturils, bambusurils are capable of forming stable complexes with various anions while showing high selectivity.At this meeting the synthetic approaches leading to the bambusuril homologues and derivatives differing in their sizes will be discussed. Supramolecular properties of the macrocycles will be also presented.
