The first book to provide a broad overview of all the major facets of coordination polymer research in one place.
Stuart R. Batten completed a BSc(Hons) and PhD at the University of Melbourne before taking up postdoctoral positions at the Universities of Bristol and Melbourne, and Monash University. He held two consecutive ARC fellowships at Monash, where he accepted a Lectureship and was subsequently promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2007. He has 150 publications to his name (mainly in the area of coordination polymers) and has been awarded numerous prizes for his work, including the Rennie, Edgeworth David and HG Andrewartha medals, and the Le FÞvre prize. Suzanne M. Neville completed a BSc(Hons) and PhD (on porous functional coordination polymers) at the University of Sydney. She currently holds a postdoctoral position at Monash University and has been awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship for 2008 to continue research into spin crossover materials at the ICMCB, Bordeaux. She has numerous publications to her name in the areas of coordination polymers and functional magnetic materials. David R. Turner completed a M.Sci. in Chemistry at King's College, London and a Ph.D. at King's College and Durham University. He currently holds an ARC post-doctoral fellowship at Monash University. Dr Turner is the author of 30 publications in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering and is a co-author of an undergraduate textbook on supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry.
