Light-Active Functional Organic Materials

Interaction between light and organic matter is the basis of biological phenomena and materials science, and nowadays many materials scientists are interested in how their own organic molecules can be exploited for applications using light. This book focuses on functional organic materials wherein interplay between light and organic molecules has an important role. It covers cutting-edge organic optoelectronic materials that can be applied to photovoltaics, artificial photosynthesis, and light-emitting devices. The chapters are divided into two categories, soft materials and hard materials. Soft materials include fluidal, supramolecular, and polymeric materials, while hard materials include p-extended aromatic compounds, such as porphyrins, acenes, phenacenes, and organic gold complexes. These organic materials are created on the basis of specific molecular and/or self-assembly/self-organization strategies devised by researchers who have contributed to this book.
