Zeolites are natural or synthetic materials with porous chemical
structures that are valuable due to their absorptive and catalytic
qualities. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are manmade organometallic
polymers with similar porous structures. This introductory book, with
contributions from top-class researchers from all around the world,
examines these materials and explains the different synthetic routes
available to prepare zeolites and MOFs. The book also highlights how the
substances are similar yet different and how they are used by science
and industry in situations ranging from fueling cars to producing drugs.
