Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal–Like Elements, Volume 10: Photophysics and Photochemistry of Metal–Containing Polymers

Metal– and metalloid–containing macromolecules are defined as large molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. This volume describes what is possible with metal–containing polymers where the metal is an essential ingredient in obtaining desired optical and electronic properties. Covering applications in nonlinear optical materials, solar cells, light–emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, field–effect transistors, chemosensing devices, and biosensing devices, this indispensible guide focuses on the photochemistry and photophysics of metal–containing polymers, with chapters by leading contributors to the core advances in this field.
