SUMMARY:Molecular Wires and Nanorings - Prof. Harry Anderson\, University 
 of Oxford

DESCRIPTION:Molecular wires are the simplest single-molecule electronic de
 vices\, and they can be viewed as the elementary components of bulk organi
 c semiconductors. Molecular wire rings exhibit fundamentally different beh
 aviour from straight molecular wires\, leading to the phenomenon of aromat
 icity. This lecture will present the synthesis and investigation of variou
 s linear and cyclic molecular wires\, including polyynes\, cyclocarbons an
 d porphyrin nanobelts\, with an emphasis on understanding electronic deloc
 alisation in long chains and large rings.
