Introduction to the Series
The Series 'Topics in Molecular Organization and Engineering' was initiated by
the Symposium 'Molecules in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology', which was held in
Paris in 1986. Appropriately dedicated to Professor Raymond Daudel, the
symposium was both broad in its scope and penetrating in its detail. The sections
of the symposium were: 1. The Concept of a Molecule; 2. Statics and Dynamics of
Isolated Molecules; 3. Molecular Interactions, Aggregates and Materials; 4.
Molecules in the Biological Sciences, and 5. Molecules in Neurobiology and
Sociobiology. There were invited lectures, poster sessions and, at the end, a
wide-ranging general discussion, appropriate to Professor Dauders long and
distinguishedcareerinscienceandhisinterestsinphilosophyandthearts.
These proceedings have been arranged into eighteen chapters which make up
the first four volumes of this series: Volume I, 'General Introduction to Molecular
Sciences'; Volume II, 'Physical Aspects of Molecular Systems'; Volume III,
'Electronic Structure and Chemical Reactivity'; and Volume IV, 'Molecular
Phenomena in Biological Sciences'. The molecular concept includes the logical
basis for geometrical and electronic structures, thermodynamic and kinetic
properties, states of aggregation, physical and chemical transformations, specificity
of biologically important interactions, and experimental and theoretical methods
for studies of these properties. The scientific subjects range therefore through the
fundamentals of physics, solid-state properties, all branches of chemistry, bio
chemistry, and molecular biology. In some of the essays, the authors consider
relationships to morephilosophicorartisticmatters.
In Science, every concept, question, conclusion, experimental result, method,
theory or relationship is always open to reexamination. Molecules do exist!
Nevertheless, there are serious questions about precise definition. Some of these
questions lie at the foundations of modern physics, and some involve states of
aggregation or extreme conditions such as intense radiation fields or the region of
the continuum. There are some molecular properties that are definable only within
limits, for example, the geometrical structure of non-rigid molecules, properties
consistent with the uncertainty principle, or those limited by the neglect of
quantum-field, relativistic or other effects. And there are properties which depend
specifically on a state of aggregation, such as superconductivity, ferroelectric (and
anti), ferromagnetic (and anti), superfluidity, excitons, polarons, etc. Thus, any
moleculardefinitionmayneed tobeextendedinamorecomplexsituation.
Chemistry, more than any other science, creates most of its new materials. At
least so far, synthesis of new molecules is not represented in this series, although
the principles of chemical reactivity and the statistical mechanical aspects are

included. Similarly, it is the more physico-chemical aspects of biochemistry,
molecular biology and biology itself that are addressed by the examination of
questions related to molecular recognition, immunological specificity, molecular
pathology, photochemical effects, and molecular communication within the living
organism.
Many of these questions, and others, are to be considered in the Series 'Topics
in Molecular Organization and Engineering'. In the first four volumes a central
core is presented, partly with some emphasis on Theoretical and Physical
Chemistry. In later volumes, sets of related papers as well as single monographs
are to be expected; these may arise from proceedings of symposia, invitations for
papers on specific topics, initiatives from authors, or translations. Given the very
rapid development of the scope of molecular sciences, both within disciplines and
across disciplinary lines, it will be interestingto see how the topics oflater volumes

PREFACE
Thisvolumeisinspiredandstimulatedbythe MEBC-2conferenceat theend
of1989 in Moscow. The contributors wrote their papers after the conference
and undertheinfluenceofthediscussions which tookplaceat theconference.
Thisis thefirst publicationpresentinginonevolume the topics concerned
with the ultimate development of electronics. These topics include the ex
ploitation of tunnel electron current in devices with monoelectronic signals
and the use of molecular materials for electronic devices. Together, these
developments constitute the essential work for accomplishing this program.
The use of electron tunneling from technical applications has become more
and more widespread due to the development ofpiezoinstruments in general
and the scanning tunneling microscope in particular.
The use of molecular materials in electronics has been impeded by the
primitive state of molecular deposition techniques and the tools for manip
ulation on a molecular scale. There has been significant progress during the
past twoyears which has produceddefinite results on both fronts: Langmuir
Blodgett techniques have been enriched by new achievements in the chem
ical transformations of layers after deposition and the value of the expe
rience gained in molecular- and atomic-level manipulation by using STM
techniques cannot be overestimated.
The main idea of the book is to combine several lines of fundamental
research. Theseinclude the development ofsingle-electronics,the fabrication
of prototype devices, and the inclusion of new molecular materials in the
fabrication process. This work will result in the exploitation ofnovel meso
scale and molecular-scale physics in electronics. The work of J.-M. Lehn is
particularly worthy of note and essential molecular engineering techniques
are described in the papers by Prof. Lehn and his colleagues.
Finally, we should like to emphasize that the circuitry for electronics
which exploits tunnel electron transfer ("tunnel electronics"?) may use the
principles ofneural networks.
