Physicochemical Aspects of Metal-Organic Frameworks

This book presents a both detailed and comprehensive look at metalorganic frameworks (MOFs), a relatively new class of materials with a broad application potential. The beginning chapters focus on introducing the requisite fundamental knowledge of MOFs with respect to their classification, synthesis, functionalization approaches, and various other physiochemical facets such as structural morphology and coordination chemistry. The remaining chapters cover an array of diverse applications, from areas such as energy storage and environmental remediation, to drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering.
Featuring chapters dedicated to the design of novel MOF structures, as well as theoretical calculations via density functional theory and machine learning techniques, this book targets a wide readership of both academic and industrial researchers interested in an in-depth understanding of the latest MOF structurefunction relationships, as well as their deployment in a wide variety of coordinated engineering applications.

Gives a comprehensive look at the fundamentals and engineering applications of metalorganic framework materials Covers theoretical calculations using density functional theory and machine learning techniques Features chapters focusing on societally important applications such as energy storage and environmental remediation
