Abstract

Macromolecular solids of highly aromatized structure can exhibit giant polarization. Their structures must be capable of providing long‐range electron orbital delocalization. Intermolecular conformality of the orbitals of these huge molecules can result in ready carrier formation. The ready transport of these electronic holes and electronic carriers as polarons able to range over long molecular domains will then produce the giant polarization characteristic of the nomadic polarization mechanism. Recent developments in the synthesis and characterization of such materials new make available a new and interesting class of very stable organic dielectrics having dielectric constants in excess of 100. A number of such materials are described.
