Metal–Organic Frameworks: Design and Application

Metal–organic frameworks represent a new class of materials that may solve the hydrogen storage problem associated with hydrogen–fueled vehicles. In this first definitive guide to metal–organic framework chemistry, author L. MacGillivray addresses state–of–art developments in this promising technology for alternative fuels. Providing professors, graduate and undergraduate students, structural chemists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers with a historical perspective, as well as the most up–to–date developments by leading experts, Metal–Organic Frameworks examines structure, symmetry, supramolecular chemistry, surface engineering, metal–organometallic frameworks, properties, and reactions.
