      Theoretical and Physical Chemistry of Triel Bonding: Properties, Mechanisms, and Catalysis explores triel and their compounds, providing a detailed analysis of their molecular and electronic structures, areas often disputed and controversial. It offers a comprehensive description and explanation, emphasizing the unique differences between boron and heavier triel atoms. Key sections cover theoretical foundations, types of interactions, and examples of triel bonds and their characteristics. Additionally, the book highlights triel elements functioning as catalysts and boron compounds in hydrogen storage. Designed for advanced students and researchers in physical or theoretical/computat... chemistry, it will also interest organic and inorganic chemists.Compounds of boron and other triel centres have been the subject of numerous studies for a long time, with their properties well-known and frequently discussed. However, the more detailed characteristics of triel compounds have not been well analyzed in existing research and their molecular and electronic structures have often been the subject of dispute and controversy. Triel bonds as a thematic area have garnered significant interest in recent years and this book provides a much broader description and explanation of their properties and characteristics than has previously been available, discussing aspects which are unique to triel bonds such as the differences between boron and the heavier triel atoms.

      Over the past 50 years, more than 20,000 natural compounds have been identified in the marine environment, with an increasing focus on marine metabolites as potential sources for developing effective therapeutic agents. The field of marine drug discovery has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with numerous marine-derived therapeutic candidates in various stages of clinical trials or awaiting approval. The ocean is a potential source of natural products with diverse pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, commercializing marine natural products has been challenging due to low yields and specificity of specialized (secondary) metabolites. Marine Specialized (Secondary) Metabolites and their Diverse Applications provides a broad overview of marine specialized metabolites and their potential in various industries. With comprehensive coverage, relevance to current trends, interdisciplinary approach, and practical applications, this book includes specific compounds or organisms, with a particular focus on addressing the challenges and limitations associated with them.

      Metal Organic Frameworks for Energy and Environmental Applications presents a comprehensive overview on the application of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to energy and environmental areas. MOFs are a promising class of materials due to their tunable structures, high surface area, and versatile functionalities, and are capturing the attention of the global scientific community due to their intersection with environmental concerns. Chapters summarize recent research on MOFS and synthesis strategies for catalysis, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and thermal catalysis, and how MOFs offer enhanced performance, selectivity, and efficiency.Additiona... the vital role MOFs play in energy storage, environmental purification, including degradation of harmful agents, and resource utilization is explored. The book also presents new research on machine learning and data mining, including how researchers can leverage datasets and algorithms to discover new, high-performance MOFs. Metal Organic Frameworks for Energy and Environmental Applications will be a valuable reference for those studying and working in the field of MOFs as they apply to energy, environmental technologies, catalysis, and materials science.
