Ernesto Brunet, Ph D, is Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Formerly a Fulbright and NATO Fellow with Prof. Ernest L. Eliel at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, he has worked on numerous structural and stereochemical problems that led to his interest in the building of organic-inorganic materials where the organic moieties display unusual properties within the supramolecular architecture. Jorge L. Colón, Ph D, is Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of Puerto Rico. His research focuses on the use of layered inorganic materials in applications ranging from artificial photosynthesis, amperometric biosensors, vapochromic materials, and drug delivery systems. Abraham Clearfield, Ph D, is Distinguished Professor at Texas A&M University. He received his BA and MA from Temple University in Philadelphia and his Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1954. He has worked extensively on layered compounds, intercalation chemistry, inorganic ion exchangers including zeolites and metal phosphonate chemistry. He has published 560 papers in peer reviewed journals, edited four books and holds about 15 patents.
