Explore the world's most powerful materials with nanographene research Graphene, comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb nanostructural arrangement, is the thinnest and strongest material yet known to science. Its fundamental characteristics, however, produce serious challenges to chemical monitoring of its properties. Fragments of graphene, or nanographenes, have shown serious potential to obviate these problems and pave the way for chiroptical and optoelectronic observation which can be vital to research and development. Molecular Nanographenes constitutes a comprehensive overview of these materials and their properties. Covering their widely varying morphologies, their potential applications, and their valuable chiroptical and photophysical characteristics, it also analyzes multiple approaches to obtain nanographene from graphite for study and application. The result is a one-stop shop for materials scientists and other researchers interested in these vital materials. Molecular Nanographenes readers will also find: A careful distinction between top-down and bottom-up approaches to nanographene synthesis Detailed discussion of nanographene configurations including planar, bilayer, helical, nanobelt, and many other geometries An authorial team with pioneering research experience in the study of graphenes and their synthesis Molecular Nanographenes is ideal for materials scientists, polymer chemists, solid state chemists, organic chemists, and any other researchers looking to work with graphenes.
