Conjugated molecules and materials for single molecule chiroptical studies, sensing of toxic nerve agent mimics and solar thermal fuels

This dissertation utilizes the power of organic synthesis to construct novel chiral and achiral π-conjugated organic molecules/materials that serve as platforms for single molecule chiroptical studies, to develop optical sensors and solar thermal fuels. The first section of the dissertation describe...
