The first part of the book documents the history, structure, chemistry, formulation and characterizations of zeolites in Chapters 1-4. The past 60 years have seen a progression in molecular sieve materials from aluminosilicate zeolites to micro-porous silica polymorphs, microporous aluminophosphate-based polymorphs, metallosihcate and metallophosphate compositions, octahedral-tetrahedral frameworks, mesoporous molecular sieves and, most recently, hybrid metal organic frameworks (MOFs).

Whilst the development of new adsorbents on monolithic [62] or fibrous supports [63] to cut pressure drops, of high-capacity metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [64], or of highly selective molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) [65], is certainly beneficial for the realization of novel adsorptive reactive concepts, the serendipity of catalytic chemistry and the accompanying adsorption process remains the crucial factor for the success or otherwise of an adsorptive reactor. Thus, although a healthy degree of skepticism is appropriate when assessing the suitability of an adsorptive... 

The large field of supramolecular coordination chemistry could be divided into polymers [1-5] and discrete compounds [6-10]. Coordination polymers or metal organic frameworks (MOF) are not only described in the literature but are also...
