Chemists and materials scientists from around the world limit their discussion to the basic mechanistic aspects of zeolite-based catalysis, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, and emphasize less traditional aspects, including host-guest chemistry and novel applications in such field

Explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the ability to pillar, or establish permanent intracrystalline porosity within layers. This work outlines modern usages of clays and other materials, including catalytic and photocatalytic applications. It examines chemistry of clays, pillared clays and pillared clay heterostructures.
