This ligand forms stable complexes known as cryptands (and it is often abbreviated as crypt in writing formulas) with cations of the group IA metals. More recently, the ligand known as cryptand has been used instead of ethylenediamine. This ligand has the molecular structure...

The structural formulas of the ligands and their abbreviations are given in Table 64. D = diamagnetic. 

Many of the complexes which occur in spin equilibrium possess ligands with complicated structures. Trivial abbreviations are used, with structural formulas given in the table in which the complex first appears. Generally the complexes are of low symmetry, but in the description of their electronic structure idealized symmetries are assumed and the appropriate term symbols are used accordingly.
