Porous Coordination Polymers: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications offers a comprehensive coverage the latest advances in porous coordination polymers for cutting-edge applications. Porous Coordination Polymers are gaining increasing interest due to their attractive properties, such as structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size, and functional tunability, in turn enabling a wide range of possible applications which this book aims to highlight and to elucidate.
The book begins by introducing porous coordination polymers, highlighting their structure, chemistry, basic properties, and design approaches. This is followed by a chapter focusing on synthetic methods and mechanical properties. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth coverage of specific target applications, explaining the preparation of porous coordination polymers for areas including catalysis and photocatalysis, environmental remediation, gas storage and separation, energy storage and conversion, new generation magnets, nanocarriers in therapeutics, and biomedical imaging. Finally, current challenges and future developments are considered in detail.

• Explores porous coordination polymers in detail while highlighting key ideas.
