Introduction to Reticular Chemistry

Omar M. Yaghi is the James and Neeltje Tretter Chair Professor of Chemistry at University of California, Berkeley, and a Senior Faculty Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. He is the Founding Director of the Berkeley Global Science Institute, and the Co-Director of the Kavli Energy NanoSciences Institute, and the California Research Alliance by BASF. His work encompasses the synthesis, structure and properties of inorganic and organic compounds and the design and construction of new crystalline materials. He published over 250 articles, and he is widely known for the discovery and for pioneering the development of several extensive classes of new materials (MOFs, COFs, and ZIFs). Markus J. Kalmutzki is an applications specialist for measurement of porosity and particle characterization at Anton Paar Germany GmbH. Before he was a DFG-postdoctoral fellow in the group of Omar M. Yaghi at the Universtity of California, Berkeley. Christian S. Diercks is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in the group of Omar M. Yaghi at the University of California, Berkeley.
