RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Automated Discovery of porous molecular materials facilitated by characterization of molecular porosity A1 Gómez García, Ismael AB Porous materials are critical to many industrial sectors, including petrochemicals, energy and water. Traditional porous polymers and zeolites are currently most widely employed within membranes, as adsorbents for separations and storage, and as heterogeneous catalysts. The emerging advanced porous materials, e.g. extended framework materials and molecular porous materials, can boost performance and energy-efficiency of the current technologies because of the unprecedented level of control of their structure and function. The enormous possibilities for tuning these materials by changing their building blocks mean that, in principle, optimally performing materials for a variety of applications can be systematically designed. However, the process of finding a set of optimal structures for a given application could take decades using the traditional materials development approaches. These is a substantial payoff for developing tools and approaches that can accelerate this process. Among advanced porous materials, porous molecular materials are one of the most recent members though they have already attracted significant interest......
