|
Content: | Introduction to zeolites and other porous materials (history, classification). Chemistry of porous materials. Catalytic sites and their influence. Framework structure. Flexibility and its influence. Computer modelling and prediction of structures. Biomineralisation. Host-guest chemistry. Synthesis and structure determination. Structure determination challenges. Experimental methods for analysis. High-temperature and high-pressures studies. Metal-organic frameworks - concepts, synthesis, characterisation functionalisation and applications. Covalent-organic frameworks and polymers of intrinsic microporosity. Molecular and hydrogen-bonded systems. Applications of porous materials (catalysis, ion-exchange, separation, filtering, storage, drug delivery).
