Condensed Matter Structural Chemistry builds on the foundational establishment of condensed matter chemistry; a new discipline to advance chemical and physical sciences by integrating multi-level structural perspectives into reaction chemistry. This book focuses on the structural chemistry branch, emphasizing the dynamic evolution of condensed matter structures under diverse conditions. It systematically explores multi-level structures—from electronic and crystal phases to defects in solids—and their critical roles in chemical reactions, supported by advanced in situ characterization techniques and emerging AI-driven condensed-matter engineering.

Sections highlights interdisciplinary connections with material and life sciences, addressing solids, liquids, and biological condensed phases, and illustrating how structural changes influence reaction pathways and outcomes. Intended for academic researchers, industrial developers, and advanced students in Chemistry, Physics, and Material Science, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to the structural underpinnings of condensed-matter reactions.

Yan, Wenfu
Professor Wenfu Yan received his Ph.D. degree from Jilin University in 2002. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, he conducted post-doc research from Oct. 2002 to Dec. 2015 in Oak Ridge National Laboratory (US). In Jan. 2006, he got back Jilin University as an associate professor, and was promoted to full professor in 2008. His research focuses on crystallization mechanism of microporous crystals; morphology and polymorphs control synthesis of zeolites; developing new synthesis strategy, route, and method for the facial synthesis of high value zeolites; and applications of zeolites on separation, catalysis, and ion-exchange. He has co-authored over 200 papers published in Science, Natl. Sci. Rev., Nat. Commun., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and J. Am. Chem. Soc., etc. He won the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars in 2012. He has been the secretary general of Chinese Zeolite Association since 2008.

Yu, Jihong
Professor Jihong Yu is from the State Key Laboratory of Inorganic Synthesis and Preparative Chemistry, Jilin University, China, and is the director of International Center of Future Science, Jilin University. She received her BS (1989), MS (1992), and PhD (1995) from Jilin University, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow first at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and then at Tohoku University in Japan during 1996-1998. She has been a full Professor in the Chemistry Department, Jilin University since 1999. She was elected as the Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015, the Fellow of TWAS in 2016, the Member of Academia Europaea in 2019, and the foreign member of Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2021. Her main research interest is in the designed synthesis and application of zeolitic nanoporous materials in energy, environment and other emerging fields.

Xu, Ruren
Professor Ruren Xu of Jilin University is a leader in the Chinese, Asian and worldwide zeolite communities as well as the founder of the inorganic synthesis discipline in China, the first proposer of the scientific system of modern inorganic chemistry in the world. He was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991 and a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) in 2003. He was a Councilor of the International Zeolite Association (IZA, 1998–2004), the chairman of the 15th International Zeolite Conference held in Beijing (2007), and the honorary chairman of the first Europe-Asia Zeolite Conference (EAZC) in Macao (2013).
