Conner, University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA) J. Fricke, Universitt Wrzburg (FRG) K. Ishizaki, Nagaoka University of Technology (Japan) S. Yamanaka, Hiroshima University (Japan) Aims and Scope The Journal of Porous Materials is intended to be an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials. Porous materials include microporous or nanoporous materials with <2nm pores, mesoporous materials with 2 - 50 nm pores and macroporous materials with >50 nm pores. Examples of macroporous or nanoporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall objective is to generate a journal that will deal with the basic and applied aspects of all the porous materials. BACKGROUND: Over the last several years, there has been a dramatic increase in the design and synthesis, characterization and property evaluation of porous materials for catalysis, separations and sensors. The design and synthesis of porous materials is perhaps more challenging than the synthesis of dense materials because the former involves precise control of the processing parameters. Therefore, new strategies are being developed constantly for the synthesis of useful materials. NEEDS: This comprehensive journal on porous materials is justified, at this time, for the following reasons: First, with increasing worldwide environmental concerns, the porous materials field is growing rapidly because these are the materials needed for separations of polluting species, recovery of useful species, sensors, catalysis, etc., involving numerous fields. Second, many articles on porous materials are scattered in journals in a variety of disciplines. This new journal is expected to benefit the field of porous materials by providing a single forum where they are dealt with. Third, this is truly an interdisciplinary field that will bring together chemists, materials scientists, ceramists, chemical engineers, biologists and agricultural scientists with different perspectives and ideas. SCOPE: The scope covers, but is not limited to, the following topics: --Synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation; Tailoring by physical and/or chemical treatments; --Fundamental properties, such as liquid-solid, solid-solid phase transitions in pores, effects of confinement on gases, liquids and organic molecules, adsorption, ion exchange and sieving, molecular sieving, etc. --Applications including optical, electronic devices, catalysis, waste disposal, selective separation and fixation of hazardous and radioactive ions and hazardous organic species, biological materials and implants, porous sensors, porous membranes for filtration of gases, liquids or melts, thermal insulation, desiccation, gas storage,etc. Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief: Sridhar Komarneni, The Pennsylvania State University (USA) Co-Editors: W.C.

PROCESS FOR SUBMISSION 1. Authors should submit four copies of their final manuscript to: Judith A. Kemp JOPO - Editorial Office PH: 617 871 6300 Kluwer Academic Publishers FX: 617 878 0449 101 Philip Drive, Assinippi Park EM: jkkluwer@world.std.com Norwell, MA 02061 USA For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address. 2.Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words. Some typical key word examples are: separation, zeolite, pillared clay, catalysis, sensor. 3.Enclose originals for the illustrations, in the style described below, for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, original illustrations can be submitted after the paper has been accepted. 4.Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a telephone number, a fax number, and an e-mail address if available. 5.The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers. STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT 1.Typeset, double or 1 space; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten ad good quality duplication acceptable). 2.Use an informative title and provide an informative 100 to 250 word abstract at the head of the manuscript. The abstracts are printed with the articles. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem, the key ideas introduced, and the results. 3.Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with Affiliation of author and continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgement of financial support may be given if appropriate. 4.References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper. References should be complete, in the following style: Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, publication name, volume number in boldface, page number, and year in parentheses. For example: J.X. Doe, W.T. Smith, and T. Wang, Physical Review 37, 2961 (1942). Style for books: Author(s) initials followed by last name, title of book (in italics), publisher, city, year, page or chapter number. Publisher, city and year should all be enclosed in a set of parentheses. For example: R. M. Barrer, Zeolites and Clay Minerals as Sorbents and Molecular Sieves (Academic Press, London, 1978), p. 497. Style for articles in proceedings or edited book: Author(s) initials followed by last name, publisher, city, year, page. Publisher, city and year should be enclosed in parentheses. For example: K.

Journals style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type (indicated by an underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line. STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS 1.Originals of illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service. 2.Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper or board. Use 8 x 11 inch size sheets if possible to simplify handling of the manuscript. 3.Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a separate page following the text. 4.Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term figure for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table. 5.All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction. 6.Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size. 7.Number each original on the back. 8.Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., Fig. 2.

I got lots of answers. Most of you recommended inserting a dummy atom to get angles about 90 degrees. So this was fine. Also freezing the angle was often recommended.
