Features: Molecular design and self-assembly are hot research topics in the field of modern materials science and technology, involving knowledge from physics, chemistry, mathematics, particularly symmetry. This book introduces the principles of molecular material design and functionalization of molecules from basic concepts. It mainly includes: fundamental concepts and principles of molecular self-assembly, symmetry, interactions and assembly in molecular media, molecular semiconductors, molecular dielectrics, and industrial applications of molecular materials. The book emphasizes concepts and scientific principles, avoiding complex derivations of formulas, and integrates thoughtfulness, knowledge, and readability. It is suitable for researchers in materials science, chemistry, physics, and applied mathematics, as well as graduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities as a reference book.
