Supramolecular Photosensitive and Electroactive Materials

Contains eleven review chapters addressing current research developments on supramolecular photosensitive and electroactive materials and their applications in a broad array of electronic and photonic technologies. Coverage includes phthalocyanine-based macrocyclic materials; the chemical synthesis, photopolymerization, physical properties, and optical applications of polydiacetylenes; the structural and optical properties of conjugated molecules in perhydrotriphenylene and other channel-forming inclusion compounds; charge transport properties of photosynthetic and respiratory proteins; optical and electronic properties of carbon nitride; the synthesis, physical properties, and applications of polyimides in microelectronics and tribology; the frequency dispersion phenomena in electronic materials; current developments in electroactive and photoactive dendrimers; and the electrical properties of organic monolayer films.
