Chemistry of Nanomolecular Systems

the long version

This book describes contemporary efforts to develop nano-molecular systems for future molecular electronics, in which single molecules act as basic elements in electrical circuits. While describing frontier research, it also gives a comprehensive introduction and discusses the related work being pursued worldwide. The book is composed of three parts. The first part describes the synthesis of novel molecules for molecular nano-systems. The second part deals mainly with nano-molecular systems on solid surfaces and the evaluation of the system with SPM. The third part reviews the theory required as a background for molecular electronics.
