Info autore
Nazario Martín is full professor of Organic Chemistry at the University Complutense of Madrid. His research interests span a range of targets with emphasis on the chemistry of carbon nanostructures involving fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, pi-conjugated systems as molecular wires, and electroactive molecules, in the context of electron transfer processes, photovoltaic applications and nanoscience. He is currently a member of the Editorial Board of Chemical Communications, and the Regional Editor for Europe of the journal Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Carbon Nanostructures. He is a fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry, and the President of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry.
Francesco Giacalone is a postdoctoral scientist at the University of Palermo. As a postdoctoral scientist (2004-2005) he worked with Professor Martín as a ESF Fellow in molecular electronics. In June 2005 he moved to the University of Palermo under the supervision of Professor Renato Noto. His current research interests focus on the synthesis of electroactive materials and recyclable materials in heterogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis.

Relazione
"Covering all aspects, from different classes, to their synthesis and applications in material science, this volume is of great interest to polymer and synthetic chemists, but also for material scientists and industrial chemists." ( International Journal Microstructure & Materials Properties , 1 September 2012)
"Overall this volume is a must-have for anyone already involved with the study of fullerenes or contemplating venturing into this field. For polymer scientists with even a casual interest in electroactive or composite applications, this book reveals the surprisingly large amount of high quality research that has already been carried out. It provides an expert s view into several relevant subtopics, while providing a solid overview of a field that will no doubt become increasingly important in terms of development of applications of fullerenes and derived materials." ( JACS , 2010)
