Condensed Matter Structural Chemistry. This item is unavailable.Condensed Matter Structural Chemistry

Condensed Matter Structural Chemistry builds on the foundational establishment of condensed matter chemistry; a new discipline to advance chemical and physical sciences by integrating multi-level structural perspectives into reaction chemistry. This book focuses on the structural chemistry branch, emphasizing the dynamic evolution of condensed matter structures under diverse conditions. It systematically explores multi-level structures―from electronic and crystal phases to defects in solids―and their critical roles in chemical reactions, supported by advanced in situ characterization techniques and emerging AI-driven condensed-matter engineering.

Sections highlights interdisciplinary connections with material and life sciences, addressing solids, liquids, and biological condensed phases, and illustrating how structural changes influence reaction pathways and outcomes. Intended for academic researchers, industrial developers, and advanced students in Chemistry, Physics, and Material Science, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to the structural underpinnings of condensed-matter reactions.

• Presents a broad perspective on chemistry through the lens of condensed matter chemistry, offering a more realistic approach to studying chemical reactions
• Highlights the dynamic evolution of structures and their impact on chemical reactions
• Covers a broad range of condensed phases, including solids, liquids, and biological systems with interdisciplinary relevance
• Integrates cutting-edge in situ characterization techniques and AI-driven approaches

Professor Ruren Xu of Jilin University is a leader in the Chinese, Asian and worldwide zeolite communities as well as the founder of the inorganic synthesis discipline in China, the first proposer of the scientific system of modern inorganic chemistry in the world. He was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991 and a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) in 2003. He was a Councilor of the International Zeolite Association (IZA, 1998–2004), the chairman of the 15th International Zeolite Conference held in Beijing (2007), and the honorary chairman of the first Europe-Asia Zeolite Conference (EAZC) in Macao (2013).

Professor Jihong Yu is from the State Key Laboratory of Inorganic Synthesis and Preparative Chemistry, Jilin University, China, and is the director of International Center of Future Science, Jilin University. She received her BS (1989), MS (1992), and PhD (1995) from Jilin University, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow first at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and then at Tohoku University in Japan during 1996-1998. She has been a full Professor in the Chemistry Department, Jilin University since 1999. She was elected as the Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015, the Fellow of TWAS in 2016, the Member of Academia Europaea in 2019, and the foreign member of Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2021. Her main research interest is in the designed synthesis and application of zeolitic nanoporous materials in energy, environment and other emerging fields.

Professor Wenfu Yan received his Ph.D. degree from Jilin University in 2002. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, he conducted post-doc research from Oct. 2002 to Dec. 2015 in Oak Ridge National Laboratory (US). In Jan. 2006, he got back Jilin University as an associate professor, and was promoted to full professor in 2008. His research focuses on crystallization mechanism of microporous crystals; morphology and polymorphs control synthesis of zeolites; developing new synthesis strategy, route, and method for the facial synthesis of high value zeolites; and applications of zeolites on separation, catalysis, and ion-exchange. He has co-authored over 200 papers published in Science, Natl. Sci. Rev., Nat. Commun., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and J. Am. Chem. Soc., etc. He won the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars in 2012. He has been the secretary general of Chinese Zeolite Association since 2008.

Associate Professor Ran Jia earned his PhD from the University of Wuppertal (Germany) in 2011. He then conducted postdoc research at the Technical University of Munich (Germany) from January 20012 to October 2013. In November 2013, he joined Jilin University as an associate professor. Since November 2017, he has also been a visiting/adjunct researcher at the Institute of Solid-State Physics, University of Latvia. His research focuses on the theoretical and computational studies in condensed matter physics and chemistry, including theoretical method development, solar energy conversion, and the design of functional low-dimensional materials. He has been recognized for his contributions with the “Most Important Scientific Achievements in Latvian” award in both 2019 and 2024.
