Cryptands find applications in many fascinating areas of chemistry, biochemistry and material science due to their architectural and functional plasticity.This review discusses in detail different methods of synthesis of the recently reported cryptands and their applications, viz. in the recognition of cations, anions and neutral molecules, as carriers in ion-transportation, as stationary phases in column chromatographic separations, as redox active material, in photophysical studies and in non-linear optics, as dopant in solgels and finally as structure-directing agents in synthesis.
