Book description
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.
Leonard R. MacGillivray
is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Iowa. His
research focuses on processes of molecular self-assembly, particularly
its application to organic synthesis. In 2002, he was awarded a 2002
National Science Foundation CAREER Award and a Research Corporation
Research Innovation Award. In 2004, he received the Young Investigator
Award of the Inter-American Photochemical Society and the Etter Early
Career Award of the American Crystallographic Association. Dr.
MacGillivray was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in
2006 and received a 2007 Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical
Society. He has published 140 manuscripts and sits on six editorial
boards
