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, hot-stage 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 is 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 applications.
