Molecular Nanographenes: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

Synopsis

Explore the world’s most powerful materials with nanographene research Graphene, comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb nanostructural arrangement, is the thinnest and strongest material yet known to science. Despite that this pristine carbon allotrope exhibits a variety of outstanding properties, its zero bandgap prevents its use for some optoelectronic applications. Fragments of graphene, or nanographenes, have shown a great potential to obviate these problems, thus paving the way for the development of chiroptical and optoelectronic properties. Molecular Nanographenes constitutes a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of these materials and their properties. Covering their widely varying morphologies, their potential applications, and their valuable chiroptical and photophysical features, it also analyzes multiple approaches to obtain nanographene by using both top-down and bottom-up methodologies. The result is a one-stop shop for materials scientists and other researchers interested in these emergent and fascinating materials. Molecular Nanographenes readers will also find: A careful distinction between top-down and bottom-up approaches to nanographene synthesisDetailed discussion of nanographene configurations including planar, bilayer, helical, nanobelt, and many other geometries An authorial team with pioneering research experience in the study of nano-sized graphenes and their synthesis Molecular Nanographenes is ideal for materials scientists, polymer chemists, solid state chemists, organic chemists, and any other researchers looking to work with shape and size-controlled flakes of graphenes.
