title: Synthesis of microporous materials using macrocycles as structure directing agents.
abstract: The synthesis of microporous materials has been an important element of solid state chemistry over the past years and remains so today. The emergence of possible new applications has driven interest towards synthesis of new materials. This article reviews the application of macrocycles as structure-directing agents (SDAs) in the pursuit of these important new materials.
