This book examines the latest research and discovery in the use of MOFs in catalysis, highlighting the extent to which these materials have been embraced by the community., Catalysis has always been part of the development of mankind; from the fermentation of alcoholic drinks, through the development of fertilisers in the agricultural revolution and production of bulk chemicals in the 20th Century. Today, society demands improved production routes with greater product output and energy efficiency; the ultimate goal to achieving this would be having all catalytic reactions in concert, effectively functioning like a biological cell. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new type of hybrid material. Their crystalline porous structure, built up from organic and inorganic building blocks, presents a vast array of composition, porosity and functionality offering enormous potential in catalytic systems. This book examines the latest research and discovery in the use of MOFs in catalysis, highlighting the extent to which these materials have been embraced by the community. Beyond presenting a digest of recent research by major players in the field, the book presents the strategies behind recent developments, providing a lasting reference for seasoned researchers and newcomers to the field., This book describes the application of Coordination Polymers (CPs) as heterogeneous catalysts. Coordination Polymers have many interesting properties that make them very promising materials for applications in heterogeneous catalysis. This has propitiated a very fast development of the field in the last 5-10 years. Rather than being exhaustive, this book describes the cutting edge of this hot topic through selected examples taken from the literature, combined with hints on what must be taken into account when evaluating the potential of a CP as catalyst. Both established researchers and those entering the field will find this to be an essential handbook to their work.
