Azulene-Based Materials: Design, Synthesis, and Applications, 1st Edition, edited by Neha Rani Kumar and Abhijeet R. Agrawal, is a reference text focused on non-benzenoid aromatic molecular chemistry. The volume establishes structural principles, synthetic pathways, and chemical characterizations for constructing advanced functional compounds. The text offers systematic coverage of molecular design concepts across physical and materials science disciplines.
The thematic progression thoroughly addresses classical and modern synthesis methods for preparing pure azulene along with its functionalized derivatives, including azaazulenes and azulene-containing natural products. It details specialized chemical transformation processes that incorporate these non-benzenoid units into complex nanographenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and porous materials. Additionally, the material outlines practical applications of these tailored architectures in chemical catalysis and modern energy storage systems.
Published by Wiley-Scrivener, this 416-page 2026 reference publication provides structured technical guidance to support academic researchers, material chemists, physicists, industry scientists, government laboratory staff, and graduate students engaging with non-benzenoid synthetic chemistry.
