Covalent Materials and Hybrids: From 0D to 3D

This book explores the historical evolution of covalently bonded materials and their hybrids, from traditional 1D organic polymers to crystalline 3D networks, 0D molecular cages, and 2D frameworks. It discusses how these materials can change the material world through applications in energy, water, and the environment. It also highlights the future demands for smaller and lighter equipment and instruments, leading to research into advanced organic materials with improved physical, chemical, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties. The book covers various aspects of polymeric material chemistry, advanced characterizations, and emerging reticular chemistry, particularly organic porous materials, their design, synthesis, structure, and built-in functions. It is an ideal introduction for students and researchers interested in this emerging field.

Traditional amorphous 1D organic polymers have evolved into crystalline 3D networks, passing through 0D molecular cages and 2D frameworks. This book explores how covalently bonded materials and their hybrids can shape the material world, with applications in energy, water, and the environment. Looking ahead, carbon allotropes and analogous materials have taken over the role of strong, heavy, and thermodynamically stable metals. Equipment and instruments are becoming smaller and lighter, driven by research into future organic materials with advanced physical, chemical, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties. This comprehensive book covers polymeric material chemistry, advanced characterizations, and emerging reticular chemistry, particularly organic porous materials. It systematically reviews the design, synthesis, structure, characterization, and properties of carbon-rich framework materials, providing valuable insights into the entire field. Chapters cover linear polymers, organic cages, fullerene, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, porous organic polymers, 2D- and 3D-covalent organic frameworks, and their hybrids. This book is an ideal introduction for students interested in pursuing this emerging field and gaining knowledge on polymers and advanced organic materials. It also serves as a valuable resource for current researchers, updating them on recent developments, explored properties, and emerging challenges of covalent materials.
