Metal-Organic Framework Materials / EIC Books Bd.1 (ePub)

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds
consisting of rigid organic molecules held together and organized
by metal ions or clusters. Special interests in these materials
arise from the fact that many are highly porous and can be used for
storage of small molecules, for example H2 or
CO2. Consequently, the materials are ideal candidates
for a wide range of applications including gas storage, separation
technologies and catalysis. Potential applications include
the storage of hydrogen for fuel-cell cars, and the removal and
storage of carbon dioxide in sustainable technical processes. MOFs
offer the inorganic chemist and materials scientist a wide range of
new synthetic possibilities and open the doors to new and exciting
basic research.

Metal-Organic Frameworks Materials provides a solid basis
for the understanding of MOFs and insights into new inorganic
materials structures and properties. The volume also reflects
progress that has been made in recent years, presenting a wide
range of new applications including state-of-the art developments
in the promising technology for alternative fuels. The
comprehensive volume investigates structures, symmetry,
supramolecular chemistry, surface engineering, recognition,
properties, and reactions.
