Front Cover
The cover picture provides a schematic summary of the major themes covered in the six part series of articles on “Molecules to Materials”.
The top left corner shows an organic metal. The structure of fullerene (C60) is shown on the top right. It is a component of an organic ferromagnetic material. The molecule in the bottom left has high second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency. The polymer in the bottom right is an electroluminescent material.
