Organic Structures Design : Applications in Optical and Electronic Devices

The application of organic materials on optical and electronic devices is a fast-growing research area, combining the classical electronic properties of metals and the advantageous properties of organic materials. The functional applications include light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, field-effect transistors, artificial machines, chemical sensors, and many others. This book provides a review on several topics in this area. The contents are focused mainly on the design and synthesis of organic functional molecules, and also include related topics such as model study on electron transfer phenomena and fabrication technologies of organic nanostructures.

The development of molecular electronics has become the mainstream of scientific research in recent decades. Applications include light-emitting diodes, solar cells, thin-film transistors, and sensors, among others. New-generation organic materials possess the virtues of softness, light weight, easy processing, design flexibility, and so on. This book focuses on the preparation of new functional organic materials. It includes a brief theoretical/kinetic discussion. The text lays special emphasis on the design of organic structures and the way they perform the designated functional properties. It will help organic chemists, particularly synthetic chemists, to light up their inspirations.
