Auroux A. et al. Acidity and Basicity (Molecular Sieves. Scinece and Technology. V.6)

Springer. 2008. 279 p.

This volume of Molecular Sieves on Acidity and Basicity may not provide as complete a coverage of the topic as the series editors and Springer usually aspire to. Originally chapters on additional topics had been agreed. However despite all efforts, these chapters were not forthcoming. Some of the present contributions had been published online at SpringerLink.com for some time while waiting for the volume to be completed and published in print. Springer as the publisher of the series has a responsibility towards the authors to publish their contributions. After taking all possible actions Springer finally decided to close this volume and publish all contributions submitted until the end of 2007. With much regret we therefore publish Volume 6 of Molecular Sieves under Springer’s name and not in the name of the series editors.
