Multimetallic and Macromolecular Inorganic Photochemistry

by V. Ramamurthy (Editor), Kirk S. Schanze (Editor)

Overview

A description of applications to electrical conductors, nonlinear optical devices, polymer light-omitting diodes (LEDs), electronic devices, batteries, antistatic coatings, and transistors. It reviews cases of metal-organic polymers incorporated with traditional organic polymers; assesses key properties of conjugated polymers; discusses features of

From the Publisher

The collection of six contributions provides a snapshot view of significant topics in the emerging field of supramolecular inorganic photochemistry. Although the volume is not comprehensive in its coverage, it does provide a survey of contemporary research being carried out in the field. A common theme that emerges is the synergism between fundamental problems, such as molecular energy transduction and charge transfer, and applications of basic science to real-world problems, such as chemical sensing. Among the subjects are p-conjugated polymers that contain transition metal ions, the use of peptide-bridged metal complexes in the study of electron transfer reactions, and metal-organic complexes derived from palladium (II) and platinum (II) diimine-dithiolate complexes.
