Cryptands, soon after their introduction in early 1970s, have proven enormously useful in several areas of chemistry, biology, and materials science. This is continuously growing and venturing into newer fields of supramolecular chemistry research. There is no other book available that attempts to explore all aspects of cryptand chemistry. This book provides a good account of synthetic methods for different types of cryptands, especially chiral cryptands, which remain mostly unexplored. Using the cryptand cavity for homogeneous catalysis, reversible fluorescence sensing, FRET, optically nonlinear materials and construction of molecular level photonic devices - are all discussed. This book also gives an account of using cryptands for a new generation of amphiphiles for Langmuir-Blodgett films and stable vesicles besides the stabilization of metal nanoparticles. This book will be useful for senior university students interested in supramolecular chemistry, as well as budding researchers in this area.

Professor Parimal K. Bharadwaj (FRSC, FASc, FNA) completed his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1979. He joined the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan as a UNESCO postdoctoral fellow. He worked at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, first as a post-doctoral fellow, then as a non-tenure track Assistant Professor. In 1985, he joined the University of California as a senior research fellow. He returned to India in 1987, joining the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur as an assistant professor of Chemistry. Professor Bharadwaj has worked in the area of organic cage molecules and metal organic frameworks, publishing more than 300 publications. Professor Dulali Bharadwaj joined the Bethune College, Kolkata, India, in 1980 to teach inorganic chemistry, becoming an associate professor after several years. She then completed her PhD in Chemistry at IIT Kanpur in 1996, and she continued as a postdoctoral fellow until 2004.
