The interest in molecular organic materials is tremendous, driven
by the need to find new materials with desirable properties. This
book aims to bring the materials and surface science communities
together, integrating physics and chemistry in a non-technical
manner, ensuring this fascinating field can be understood by a
multi disciplinary audience. Starting with basic physical concepts
and synthetic techniques, the book describes how molecules assemble
into highly ordered structures as single crystals and thin films,
with examples of characterization, morphology and properties.
Special emphasis is placed on the importance of surfaces and
interfaces. The final chapter gives a personal view on future
possibilities in the field. Written for beginners and experienced
chemists, physicists and material scientists, this will be a useful
introduction to the field of molecular organic materials.
