Microporous Framework Solids RSC [Hardcover]

This book describes fundamental principles and experimental practices of the synthetic chemistry and physical characterisation of crystalline microporous solids. It also provides a clear and up to date discussion of different types of microporous materials, their applications and emerging areas of current interest, written from a personal research perspective. This book is ideal for new researchers in the field of microporous solids both in academia and industry who require a detailed and informative overview of the subject. It provides a comprehensive review of microporous materials in an easily accessible style offering a valuable source of references over a wide range of topics. ...fills a gap in the available literature. First the author is to be congratulated for having had the courage to write a book on this complex subject. In my opinion the most important benefit of that bold initiative is that this book, unlike some multi-volume handbooks on this calss of materials, which often consist of an edited collection of review articles by different authors, has been written by a single author, in fact that contributes greatly to its understandability and clarity. ...the scientific content is up-to-date.. ...chocie of literature on the whole is very good.! ...the bookshould be in the everyday collections of all research groups whose work is focussed on porous materials or who sometimes deal with them.
