Download or read book Supramolecular Engineering of Synthetic Metallic Materials written by Jaume Veciana and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 29 papers from the January 1998 workshop discuss recent results and future trends in the areas of crystal engineering, molecular conductors, and molecular magnets. The three introductory chapters give the basic concepts and fundamentals of crystal engineering for the design and prediction of molecular solids. The next three chapters contain experimental results concerning the synthesis and characterization of molecular solids. Another eight contributions deal with the design and study of molecular materials showing magnetic properties. The following eight papers address materials combining magnetic with electrical properties. The volume concludes with seven contributions that describe results on the synthesis of new molecules forming molecular conductors. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
