In this minireview, squaramides are presented from their roots as artificial anion receptors in molecular recognition studies to their recent advances as powerful bifunctional hydrogen-bonding catalysts in asymmetric organocatalysis. The main features of the squaramido functionality and the direct comparison with the analogous ureas and thioureas are also discussed.
