• applications such as one-dimensional conductors, photoconductors, light emitting diodes, photovoltaic solar cells, gas sensors etc. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The functional capabilities of these materials are due to their easier processibility, spontaneous alignment between electrodes

Progress in liquid crystal chemistry

• organic light emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices, organic field effect transistors, gas sensors etc. [3][4][5][6][7][8]. One of the major issues in liquid crystal research today is still the poor knowledge of structure-property relationships and thus the synthesis of whole series of structurally

The classical methods of constructing pyrrole ring system include mainly Knorr or Paal–Knorr syntheses, which have been summarized in a

Fluorous compounds are the basis for highly selective ion sensors that show promise by virtue of their low level of biofouling [20]. Recently, it was shown that simple fluorous compounds act as molecular receptors for selective

The synthesis of molecular motors, or sensors, of springs and levers makes possible this new molecular engineering at the nanometre scale for eventual uses which only the future will tell.
