Abstract

The invention relates to new calixarenes of formula: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a crown ether chain that includes at least two aryl or cycloalkyl rings, PA1 R.sup.2 is a hydroxyl or alkoxy group, or the two R.sup.2 groups together form a crown ether chain such as R.sup.1, and R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. The calixarenes are used to selectively extract caesium from aqueous solutions that notably have high concentrations of sodium.
