Synopsis

Providing a thorough overview of leading research from internationally-recognized contributing authors, this book describes methods for the preparation and application of redox systems for organic electronic materials like transistors, photovoltaics, and batteries.

• Covers bond formation and cleavage, supramolecular systems, molecular design, and synthesis and properties
• Addresses preparative methods, unique structural features, physical properties, and material applications of redox active p-conjugated systems
• Offers a useful guide for both academic and industrial chemists involved with organic electronic materials
• Focuses on the transition-metal-free redox systems composed of organic and organo main group compounds

About this title

About the Author

Tohru Nishinaga, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Tokyo Metropolitan University. His current research interest is the design, synthesis and application of pi-electron systems with novel electronic properties. Dr. Nishinaga has published over 80 scientific papers and 10 book chapters.

From the Back Cover

Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed ― that is, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between species. The design of new redox active conjugated systems is essential for developing organic functional materials and has been the subject of intense research in recent years.

Providing a thorough overview of leading research from internationally-recognized contributing authors, Organic Redox Systems offers a valuable guide for chemists whose work touches on design and synthesis of these conjugated systems. The book covers preparative methods, unique structural features, physical properties, material applications, and potential of redox active pi-conjugated systems. Such a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship of these systems is one of the important research fields in physical organic chemistry. It features coverage of bond formation and cleavage of radicals, supramolecular systems based on redox reactions, molecular design, synthesis and properties, and device applications that include transistors, photovoltaics, and batteries.

Chemists relying on this book will find a valuable resource for research across organic and materials chemistry, with key chapters that include such topics as:

• Bond formation and cleavage and supramolecular assembly of radicals
• Oxidant, mixed valence systems, and multi radicals
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heteroles
• Weakly coordinating anions and pi-systems of heavier group 14 and 15 elements
