Macromolecules Containing Metal and

Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as large molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. This volume describes what is possible with metal-containing polymers where the metal is an essential ingredient in obtaining desired optical and electronic properties. Covering applications in nonlinear optical materials, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, field-effect transistors, chemosensing devices, and biosensing devices, this indispensible guide focuses on the photochemistry and photophysics of metal-containing polymers, with chapters by leading contributors to the core advances in this field.

Alaa S. Abd-El-Aziz is the Associate Vice-President (Academic and Research) at theUniversity ofBritish Columbia Okanagan. In 1997, he was named a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Manitoba Outstanding Chemist Award, the Erica & Arnold Rogers Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarship, and the Clifford J. Robson Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Charles Carraher is Professor of Chemistry atFloridaAtlanticUniversity and Associate Director of theFloridaCenter for Environmental Studies. Dr. Carraher previously was Dean of the Charles E.Schmidt College of Science at FAU, Chair of the Science Division at theUniversity of South Dakota and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Wright State University. His research deals with the general topic of polymers as applied to electronics, computers, biomedicine, instrumentation and construction.
