DESCRIPTION:D. C. Neckers\, a photoscientist\, started the Center for Phot
 ochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University (OHIO\, USA) in 1985.
  The Center now houses one of the few Ph. D. programs in the photosciences
  in the world. As of last July\,  17 faculty from four departments were pa
 rt of the Center\, and ≈ 60 full time Ph.D. students were enrolled in Ce
 nter programs. Neckers research interests are in photopolymerization\, pho
 tpolymer science\, imaging and stereolithography. He\, his students and hi
 s post-doctorals have published about 400 papers in refereed journals\, an
 d he holds approximately 50 US patents. His discussion in today's seminar 
 will focus on the elusive group of aromatic compounds known as the poly(ac
 enes). .. i. e. benzene\, naphthalene\, anthracene\, tetracene\, pentacene
 \, hexacene\, heptacene ...[octacene]\, [nonacene] .... ... poly(acene)s. 
 As of this date\, heptacene has been synthesized in matrices only (to be d
 iscussed) while octacene and nonacene are unknown.
