Reports the communications that have been presented at the 4th International FEZA Conference in Paris, September 3-6, 2008. This book offers an overview of the developments of ordered nanoporous solids, including zeolites, as well as synthetic layered materials, nanosized molecular sieves, and ordered mesoporous solids.

This book summarizes the developments in the area of nanoporous solids at the dawn of the 21st century, useful for both students/young researchers entering the field of nanoporous materials, as well as for senior scientists. It also summarizes the new family of porous compounds, e.g. MOF's and ordered porous carbon. The present state-of-the-art and prospects of nanoporous solids for advanced applications is discussed.
