Charge and exciton transport through molecular wires

As functional elements in opto-electronic devices approach the singlemolecule limit, conducting organic molecular wires are the appropriateinterconnects that enable transport of charges and charge-like particles such as excitons within the device. Reproducible syntheses and athorough understanding of the underlying principles are therefore indispensable for applications like even smaller transistors, molecularmachines and light-harvesting materials. Bringing together experiment and theory to enable applications in real-life devices, this handbookand ready reference provides ess
