| Abstract: | This review provides a brief introduction to the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique and to the utilization of ultrathin films in the fields of electronics and optics. The electrical and nonlinear optical properties of the Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer and multilayers of organoruthenium complexes, ferrocene derivatives, metal(4,5-dimercapto-1, 3-dithiol-2-dithiolene)2 complexes, metallophthalocyanines, metalloporphyrins, metal(dibenzotetra-aza[14]annulene)s and siloxane polymers are presented. Possible applications of organometallic LB films in sensors, electroluminescence and electrochromic devices, optical switches, solar cells, infrared detectors and harmonic generators are discussed. |
