Physicochemical Aspects of Metal-Organic Frameworks (eBook)

This book presents a both detailed and comprehensive look at metal-organic 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.

Prof. Dr. Ali Maleki received his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2009. He started his career as Assistant Professor in Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2010, where he is currently Full Professor. His research interests focus on design and development of novel catalysts, nanomaterials, and green chemistry. He has hundreds of ISI-JCR publications. Some of his honors include: Distinguished Researcher of IUST within 2010-2020, IUPAC Prize for green chemistry in 2016, and Top 1% International Scientists in ESI (Web of Science) in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
