Synopses & Reviews
Metallomesogens Synthesis, Properties, and Applications Edited by José Luis Serrano Research on metal-containing liquid crystals is a rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary field with new materials continually being synthesized and novel applications being developed. Metallomesogens is the first comprehensive survey of the field, introducing the reader to:
- materials design
- synthesis
- physical properties
- emerging applications
Carefully selected references round off this well-organized compendium. It is an indispensable guide for experienced researchers in coordination and organometallic chemistry as well as in liquid-crystal and materials science. Newcomers and graduate students will also benefit from this didactically sound introduction to the field.
