Introduction to reticular chemistry

Více o knize

This introduction to the chemistry and design principles of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related porous materials highlights the significance of reticular chemistry in synthesizing new porous materials for applications in gas separation, catalysis, energy, and electronics. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles behind MOFs, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). Authored by a pioneer in the field, it addresses essential aspects of reticular chemistry, including design, synthesis, properties, characterization, and both current and future applications. Written in an accessible style, it features an extensive bibliography and includes figures and videos of crystal structures available as an electronic supplement. Key features include a discussion of the underlying principles and design elements for synthesizing important frameworks, real-life and future applications in clean energy and water adsorption, and all graphic materials hosted on a companion website. Aimed at graduate students and professionals in chemistry, structural chemistry, and related fields, this groundbreaking resource delves into the chemistry principles and applications of MOFs, COFs, and ZIFs, providing valuable insights from Omar Yaghi and his team.
