Metal-Organic Frameworks with Heterogeneous Structures

Ali Morsali is Master in inorganic chemistry at Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran. He obtained his PhD in 2003 in inorganic chemistry from the same university. He has published more than 400 articles in international journals as well as 5 patents and published 4 books under the Wiley-Scrivener imprint. He has received numerous national awards. Amongst his research interests are coordination chemistry and metal-organic frameworks. Kayhaneh Berijani earned her PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Zanjan. After graduating, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Ali Morsali on chiral MOFs field at Tarbiat Modares University. Her current research interests are chiral metal-organic frameworks, green chemistry, chiral materials and asymmetric processes.
