Introduction To Reticular Chemistry

A much-needed introduction to the chemistry and design principles behind important metal-organic frameworks and related porous materialsReticular chemistry has been applied to synthesize new classes of porous materials that are successfully used for myriad applications in areas such as gas separation, catalysis, energy, and electronics. Introduction to Reticular Chemistry gives an unique overview of the principles of the chemistry behind metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). Written by one of the pioneers in the field, this book covers all important aspects of reticular chemistry, including design and synthesis, properties and characterization, as well as current and future applications.Designed to be an accessible resource, the book is written in an easy-to-understand style. It includes an extensive bibliography and offers figures and videos of crystal structures that are available as an electronic...
