Organomain Group Strategies for Functional Organic Materials

Main Group Strategies towards Functional Organic Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the expanding field of functional hybrid materials, showcasing the highly beneficial features arising from the presence of main group centers for the further development of more sophisticated, yet simple advanced functional materials.

The book features contributions from top specialists in the field, discussing the molecular, supramolecular and polymeric materials and applications of boron, silicon (and higher analogues), phosphorus/arsenic, and sulfur/selenium/tellurium. Hypervalent materials and transition metal hybrids are also covered. The structure of the book allows the reader to compare differences and similarities between related strategies for several groups of elements, and to draw crosslinks between different sections.
