Coordination Polymers

The field of coordination polymer research is now vast, and one of the fastest growing areas of chemistry in recent times, with important work being done on a large variety of different aspects. This book, however, provides for the first time a uniquely broad overview of all the major facets of modern coordination polymer science in the one place. It combines thorough chapters on nets and interpenetration with wide-ranging surveys of transition metal and lanthanoid coordination polymers and their properties (including magnetism, porosity, non-linear optical activity and catalysis). A tutorial approach is taken where necessary making the book suitable for new postgraduate students taking their first steps in the field as well as an authoritative and detailed reference source for senior specialists in the field.
