| Summary: | Among their many meaningful uses, metal-organic frameworks, or simply MOFs, hold the promise of expanding the fuel capacity of hydrogen-fueled vehicles with the ability to compress hydrogen molecules into small areas. Building on this technology, MOFs could increase this capacity even further--to the point where fuel-cell-powered cars can one day become a reality. The first, and definitive, reference on MOF chemistry, Metal-Organic Frameworks looks at the scientific possibilities inherent in these crystalline compounds with an in-depth view of how their chemical properties enable them to maximize surface areas with scaffolds made up of linked rods. Metal-Organic Frameworks covers the essential MOF fundamentals and discusses their key benefits, such as how they can be made with simple and low-cost building units to afford technologically advanced molecular and supramolecular materials. Metal-Organic Frameworks collects input from leading authorities in MOF chemistry and details important and timely contributions. Comprehensive coverage offers the reader a thorough and reliable view of the groundbreaking discoveries and forward-thinking research defining how far this field has come--and how far it still has to go. Suitable to gain an advanced-level understanding in this area, this book also serves as a valuable teaching tool, making it an ideal addition to the classroom. --Book Jacket. |
