To physicists and chemists, color means light emission,
absorption, spectrum, and coloration. Near-Infrared Organic
Materials and Emerging Applications presents knowledge and
applications of invisible "colored" organic materials.
Near-infrared (NIR) materials are defined as substances that
interact with NIR light, namely, absorption and reflection, and
emit NIR light upon stimulation, for example, photoexcitation,
electric field, and chemical reaction. This book offers up-to-date
information on low band-gap organic materials with unique
near-infrared absorbing, fluorescent, and photovoltaic properties
for various emerging applications.
The author emphasizes the chemistry of materials, in particular the
structure property relationship of near-infrared organic compounds
and polymers. The text discusses the molecular design aspect of NIR
materials, including effects of conjugation length and donor
acceptor charge transfer. Chapters also cover information on the
structures and key properties of NIR organic compounds, such as
those containing rylene, polymethine, and metal-complex
chromophores, as well as polymers, including nonconjugated
NIR-absorbing, conjugated dye-containing, and donor acceptor
conjugated polymers.
The final chapter describes emerging applications of NIR organic
materials based on absorbing, chromogenic, photosensitizing,
photovoltaic, and fluorescent properties, as well as applications
of low band-gap compounds and polymers in ambipolar organic
transistors. Presenting useful data and thought-provoking ideas,
this book provides a practical reference on optical properties and
structures of NIR organic materials and their design principles and
applications.
