This review reports synthetic pathways to double-calixarenes in various molecular arrangements. These molecular arrangements can be achieved by stepwise syntheses or by one-pot reactions in which several bonds are made in the same time. Synthetic examples from our laboratory are described in the literature background. 1. Introduction 2. "Upper rim-upper rim" double-calixarenes 3. "Lower rim-lower rim" double-calixarenes 4. Other types of double-calixarenes 5. Conclusion
