Reihe: Inorganic Materials Series

"... the book does an excellent job of puttingtogether several different classes of materials. Many common pointsemerge, and the book may facilitate the development of hybrids inwhich the qualities of the "parents" areenhanced." -Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011

With applications in optoelectronics and photonics, quantuminformation processing, nanotechnology and data storage, molecularmaterials enrich our daily lives in countless ways. These materialshave properties that depend on their exact structure, the degree oforder in the way the molecules are aligned and their crystallinenature. Small, delicate changes in molecular structure can totallyalter the properties of the material in bulk.

There has been increasing emphasis on functional metal complexesthat demonstrate a wide range of physical phenomena. MolecularMaterials represents the diversity of the area, encapsulatingmagnetic, optical and electrical properties, with chapters on:

* Metal-Based Quadratic Nonlinear Optical Materials

* Physical Properties of Metallomesogens

* Molecular Magnetic Materials

* Molecular Inorganic Conductors and Superconductors

* Molecular Nanomagnets

Structured to include a clear introduction, a discussion of thebasic concepts and up-to-date coverage of key aspects, each chapterprovides a detailed review which conveys the excitement of work inthat field.

Additional volumes in the Inorganic Materials Series:

Über Autor(innen)

Professor Duncan Bruce graduated from the University ofLiverpool (UK), where he also gained his PhD. In 1984, he took up aTemporary Lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the University ofSheffield and was awarded a Royal Society Warren ResearchFellowship. He was then appointed Lecturer in Chemistry and waspromoted Senior Lecturer in 1994, in which year he becameco-director of the Sheffield Centre for Molecular Materials. In1995, he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at theUniversity of Exeter. Following the closure of Exeter's chemistrydepartment in 2005, Professor Bruce took up his present position asProfessor of Materials Chemistry in York. He is currently Chair ofthe Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Forum. Hiscurrent research interests include liquid crystals andnanoparticle-doped, nanostructured, mesoporous silicates. His workhas been recognized by various awards including the British LiquidCrystal Society's first Young Scientist prize and the RSC's SirEdward Frankland Fellowship and Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize. Hehas held visiting positions in Australia, France, Japan and Italy.
Dr. Richard Walton, who was also formerly based in theDepartment of Chemistry at the University of Exeter, now works inthe Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick. Hisresearch group works in the area of solid-state materials chemistryand has a number of projects focusing upon the synthesis,structural characterization and properties of inorganicmaterials.
Dermot O'Hare is Professor in the Chemistry ResearchLaboratory at the University of Oxford.
His research group has a wide range of research interests. Theyall involve synthetic chemistry ranging from organometallicchemistry to the synthesis of new microporous solids.
Duncan Bruce and Dermot O'Hare have edited several editions ofInorganic Materials published by John Wiley & SonsLtd.
