This book, edited by Hermenegildo Garcia and Amarajothi, delves into the synthesis and applications of catalysis within confined frameworks, focusing particularly on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and other porous materials. It explores the engineering of metal active sites, porosity, and the use of mixed linkers in MOFs to enhance catalytic efficiency. The text covers various aspects such as the structure, chemical environment, and confinement effects on catalysis, providing insights into the mechanisms and applications in fields like oil refining and pollutant degradation. Intended for researchers and professionals in chemistry and materials science, it aims to present advanced methodologies and their practical applications in catalysis. |
