Structure and Dynamics in Solid-state Inclusion Compounds

Recent advances in structural methods and in-situ techniques have greatly facilitated the elucidation of crystal and molecular structures. Concurrent advances have also occurred in the development of complementary techniques such as thermal analysis, solid-state NMR, hotstage microscopy, and sorption/desorption analysis. Structure and Dynamics in Solid-state Inclusion Compounds describes the methods used to elucidate structure-property relationships of solid-state inclusion compounds. In particular, the book focuses strongly on structural chemistry and the physical methods used to determine bulk properties (e.g. kinetics, thermodynamics, optical phenomena, guest selectivity/capacity, etc.). Special emphasis will be placed on dynamic phenomena related to porosity, such as guest removal, uptake and exchange in the context of the non-bonded interactions that impinge on such systems. Written by world leaders in the field, this title will appeal to students and professional and scholarly researchers working in solid-state organic chemistry, crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry as well as those interested in the applications.
