With contributions from the most prominent experts around the world, this resource provides an accessible summary of electrochemical techniques and the applications of electrochemical concepts to molecular-level systems. It describes the most important electro-active functional supramolecular systems developed so far, including rotaxanes and catenanes as molecular machines and as elements for information processing; dendrimers as molecular batteries, sensors, light harvesting antennae, and drug delivery systems; and bio-hybrid devices.

Paola Ceroni, Ph D, is Associate Professor at the University
of Bologna. Dr. Ceroni’s research focuses on the photochemistry and
electrochemistry of molecular and supramolecular systems, with
particular emphasis on photoactive dendrimers. Dr. Ceroni is
coauthor of approximately 100 scientific papers.
Alberto Credi, Ph D, is Associate Professor of Chemistry
at the University of Bologna. Dr. Credi is particularly interested
in the development of molecular machines, and has coauthored about
160 scientific papers in the fields of molecular and supramolecular
photochemistry and electrochemistry. He is also the coauthor of the
monograph Molecular Devices and Machines and of a handbook
of photochemistry.
Margherita Venturi is Professor of Chemistry at the
University of Bologna. From 1972 to 1991, she worked at the
National Research Council of Bologna, studying the
electron-transfer processes involved in model systems for the
conversion of solar energy. Professor Venturi’s present research
focuses on the field of supramolecular photochemistry and
electrochemistry. She is coauthor of about 180 articles, including
several reviews. She is also the coauthor of the monograph
Molecular Devices and Machines.
