RT Journal Article T1 Thin Films of Tolane Aggregates for Faraday Rotation: Materials and Measurement A1 Eerdekens, Maarten A1 López Duarte, Ismael A1 Hennrich, Gunther A1 Verbiest, Thierry AB We present organic, diamagnetic materials based on structurally simple (hetero-)tolane derivatives. They form crystalline thin-film aggregates that are suitable for Faraday rotation (FR) spectroscopy. The resulting new materials are characterized appropriately by common spectroscopic (NMR, UV-Vis), microscopy (POM), and XRD techniques. The spectroscopic studies give extremely high FR activities, thus making these materials promising candidates for future practical applications. Other than a proper explanation, we insist on the complexity of designing efficient FR materials starting from single molecules.
