Structural and Optical Properties of conjugated molecules in perhydrotriphenylene and other channel forming inclusion compounds

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.
