Organic Redox Systems: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

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

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.
