Conjugated Oligomers, Polymers And Dendrimers : From Polyacetylene To Dna - Proceedings Of The Fourth Francqui Colloquium, 21-23 October 1998, Brussels Brédas, Jean-Luc

Résumé :

Conjugated materials have enjoyed tremendous developments over the past twenty years and impacted numerous fields of chemistry, physics and engineering. This volume is a witness to the variety of basic concepts that have been uncovered as well as applications that have been enabled thanks to the development of (-conjugated oligomers, polymers and dendrimers. Top experts of the field are contributing to this book : a first section with Chapters by A.J. Heeger, R.H. Freind, W.R. Salaneck, A.G. MacDiamird, A.J. Bard and their co-workers, covers the latest developments in plastic electronics and opto-electronics. The second section, with Chapters by R.J. Silbey, J.L. Brédas, C. Taliani, and their co-workers, addresses theoretical and spectroscopic issues related to the manifestation of interchain interactions and the formation of aggregates. The third section is devoted to synthetic aspects covering oligomers, polymers, dendrimers and their supra molecular architectures, with Chapters from K. Müllen, J.S. Moore, V. Balzani, E.W. Meijer, and their co-workers. Nonlinear optical phenomena, from both theoretical and experimental standpoints, art the topics of the fourth section with Chapters from J.M. André, S.R. Marder, H. Sasabe, A.P. Persoons, and their co-workers. The last section contains Chapters from A.J. Esptein, M. Bawendi, F. De Schryver, J.P. Rabe, J.K. Barton, and their co-workers, that deal with issues related to organic magnets, nanocrystallites, single molecule imaging and contacting, and charge transport in DNA.
