Design and Construction of Coordination Polymers

Bridging the gap between textbooks and research- and data-oriented monographs and handbooks, Design and Construction of Coordination Polymers provides a comprehensive introduction to coordination polymers, focusing on the synthetical strategies, structures, properties, and potential applications. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on coordination polymers, offering a dedicated approach as well as deeper insights of the most important facets of this interdisciplinary area. Design and Construction of Coordination Polymers addresses a wide readership, including senior undergraduates and graduate students, as well as scientists in inorganic, organic, organometallic, and material chemistry.
