Thin films of tolane aggregates for faraday rotation: materials and measurement. Coatings [Internet]. 16 de octubre de 2019 [citado 21 de enero de 2025];9(10):669. Disponible en: https://www.mdpi.com/2079-6412/9/10/6692079-641210.3390/coatings9100669https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/115303We 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.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3390/coatings9100669open access615.31615:54faraday rotationthin filmsmagneto-opticsorganic materialtolane derivativesQuímica farmaceútica23 Química
