TTF Chemistry

Rezensionen / Stimmen

From the reviews:"In this book professors Jun-ichi Yamada and Toyonari Sugimoto together with 19 other authors have produced a very comprehensive volume which encompasses the chemical sciences of tetrathiafulvalenes. . Each chapter concludes with a summary and outlook, and extensive references are provided. . It is definitely the sort of book that will get you thinking about redox reactions and their applications. This is an excellent book." (Helmut Hügel, Chemistry in Australia, July, 2005)"The book is well structured .. Its main strength is its excellent coverage of the synthesis of tetrathiafulvaleness, which is certainly the dominant component of the book and is very well developed. . the book has achieved its intended scope and will certainly be a precious source of inspiration to synthetic chemists interested in tetrathiafulvaleness. . this book will be particularly useful to researchers. Here, they will find precious insights and a vast selection of references." (Françisco M. Raymo, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 127 (25), 2005)". The growth of TTF chemistry since 1973 has been enormous, and in the last few years TTF derivatives have been used not only as building blocks of organic conductors, but also as components of molecular machines, organic magnets, organic field-effect transistors, electrochemical sensors, and solar cells.As Fred Wudl states in the foreword to the book, it is clear from this volume that TTF chemistry is a vibrant and active part of the organic chemistry scene. The book is of great interest, and is strongly recommended, not only for organic chemists but also for materials scientists engaged in research in the field, and for others who seek an introduction to the recent advances in TTF science as an entry into the truly dynamic field of molecular electronics."
