Organised Molecular Assemblies in the Solid State

An invaluable introduction to the developing field of molecular assemblies in the solid state which surveys several areas of current research interest. The interdisciplinary nature of this topic is highlighted with in-depth reviews of a range of diverse subject areas.

Chemists are becoming increasingly interested in the physical, biological and chemical properties of the compounds they create. With the growing interest in new materials there has been a tremendous development in the field of molecular solids. Each chapter in this book focuses on a different major research initiative, providing complete coverage of the area with extensive references to literature. This volume introduces the non-specialist to the excitement that is inherent in this multidisciplinary field.Die ständig wachsende Nachfrage nach neuen Werkstoffen verstärkte unter anderem auch das Interesse an molekularen Festkörpern. Dieses Grenzgebiet zwischen anorganischen festen Stoffen und organischen Polymeren wird vorzugsweise von Organikern bearbeitet, die damit traditionelle Domänen der Kristallographen, Festkörperphysiker und Materialwissenschaftler erobern. Aktuelle Fortschritte auf diesem Gebiet sind Thema dieser Sammlung einschlägiger Übersichtsartikel. (05/99) Self-assembly of Surfactant Molecules on Solid Surfaces (A. Ulman).

Design and Synthesis of Complex Conjugated Polymers (T. Swager).

Zeolite as a Medium for Photochemical Reactions (V. Ramamurthy, et al.).

Statistically Significant Conclusions from the Cambridge Structural Database (K. Wheeler).

Strategies for the Design and Assembly of Hydrogen-bonded Aggregates in the Solid State (D. Chin, et al.).
