Overview
Interest in nanoporous crystals as host-guest systems has risen dramatically over the past few years, such that this fascinating class of substances now plays an important role not only in material sciences, but also in numerous other disciplines, such as organic or supramolecular chemistry. With their unique characteristics, nanoporous crystals offer a wide range of possible applications: They are used as molecular sieves or membranes as well as catalytic converters. This work presents the very first overview of this exciting field.Readers will find everything they need to know about these unusual materials, with all their many attributes:
- Synthesis of host-guest systems
- Description of the structural and dynamic aspects
- Electronic and optical characteristics of the materials
- Possible applications.
An indispensable reference for materials scientists as well as for catalytic and inorganic chemists, and all those working in the field.
Synopsis
Sixty-seven international specialists contribute to this resource text for materials scientists, catalytic and inorganic chemists, and related professionals. Thirty-two selections are grouped into sections on synthesis routes for functional composites based on nanoporous materials, structure and dynamics of guest-host composites based on nanoporous crystals, electrical properties and electronic structure, and optical properties of molecular sieve compounds. A sampling of topics: guest functionalized crystalline organic/inorganic nanohybrid materials, computational methods for host-guest interactions, fundamentals and applications of ionic conductivity of zeolites, and photosensitive optical properties of zeolitic nanocomposites.
