From Molecules to Materials

  • Chapter

Abstract

“One day the chemists will meet the physicists,” a quote whose source I cannot remember, refers to the tendency of chemists to deal with ever-larger molecules, while physicists are engaged in the study of progressively smaller molecular aggregates. One may ask if the dimension of size has a direct relation to our theme, and whether there is a certain molecular size that signals the transition between molecule and material.
