Carbon-Rich Compounds: From Molecules to Materials

Due to their innovative properties, the chemistry of carbon rich compounds is now one of the most interesting developments in the field of nano chemistry. New molecules with exciting novel properties underline the importance of this topic straddling organic synthesis and material science.

This book focuses on the synthesis of these compounds, adopting a particularly appropriate approach. A team of excellent international authors guarantees high-quality content, covering such topics as

• Monodisperse Carbon-Rich Oligomers
• Molecular Electronic Wires
• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
• Theory
• Solid-State Chemistry (PDAs)
• Chirality
• Fullerenes
• Polyynes
• Macrocycles
• Phenylenes
• Diamondoid Structures
• Energy Transfer Systems
• Endohedral Fullerenes
• Buckybowls

The result is a must-have for everyone working in this expanding and interdisciplinary field, including organic and polymer chemists, materials scientists, and chemists working in industry, and should be among the shelves of any relevant departmental library.
