The authors have written an advanced text for researchers entering or working in the field of organized monolayers. The text starts with an introduction into the general properties of monolayers, then gives details on how to produce such monolayers and how to move from organized monolayers to molecular machines. Chapter 5 is devoted to the structural analysis of monolayers incorporating the most advanced technologies. Most of these techniques have been developed by the two authors. The remaining chapters concentrate on exciting new applications of supramolecular machines, such as light harvesting, chromophore coupling, spectral hole burning, molecular wires, molecular switches and signal amplification. Table of Contents * Introduction * Monolayers at the air-water interface * Monolayer assemblies of dyes * Monolayer substrate interaction * Energy transfer in monolayer assemblies and its use as molecular ruler and for structural information * Photoinduced electron transfer * Optical effects * Electrical and electro-optical effects * Artificial supramolecular machines
