Abstract
EXPERIMENTS using organic semiconductors as catalysts are interesting for several reasons. Organic semiconductors have a molecular lattice and the parameters of the catalyst can therefore be altered by altering the molecules forming the lattice. Organic chemistry techniques also enable single molecules to be synthesized in a tailor made fashion.
