Cross Conjugation: Modern Dendralene, Radialene and Fulvene Chemistry, 1st Edition. Hopf, Henning. Pdf

Filling a gap in the market, this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and expanding field of cross-conjugated molecules, their chemistry, synthesis and properties.
The editor is one of the world's leading scientists in the field, and has assembled here a team of experts to discuss different classes of molecules, as well as the use of cross-conjugation for organic synthesis and applications in electronic systems and material science.
About the Author
Born in 1940, Henning Hopf is Director of the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the TU Braunschweig. After studying chemistry in Goettingen and at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he gained his doctorate 1967, he qualified as a professor in 1972 at the University of Karlsruhe. Three years later he was offered a chair at the University of Wuerzburg and from there followed an offer of a professorship at Braunschweig in 1979. His main areas of research concern hydrocarbon chemistry (alkines, allenes, cumulenes, aromats, cyclophanes, polyolefines, etc.) and mechanistic investigations of high-temperature reactions.

Michael Sherburn received both his BSc and PhD degrees from The University of Nottingham. He held positions at Massey University and The University of Sydney before being appointed Fellow at the Research School of Chemistry in December 2002. He has been awarded the Le Févre Memorial Prize (2006), an Erskine Fellowship (2008) and the A.J. Birch Medal of the RACI (2008). He was promoted to Professor at the Research School of Chemistry in 2011.
