A review. In recent years, major progress was achieved in the understanding of the adsorption and phase behavior of fluids in highly ordered mesoporous materials with simple pore geometries (e.g., M41S materials). This has led to major advances in the structural characterization by phys. adsorption, also because of the development and availability of advanced theor. approaches based on statistical mechanics (e.g., non local d. functional theory (NLDFT) and mol. simulation). However, there are still many open questions concerning the structural characterization of more complex porous systems. Within this context, this chapter provides an overview of the major underlying mechanisms assocd. with the adsorption, pore condensation and hysteresis behavior of fluids in ordered mesoporous systems with simple geometries, ordered pore networks, and novel micro-mesoporous materials with hierarchical pore structure. Fluids adsorbed in hierarchically structured micro-mesoporous materials can exhibit very complex, but very interesting pore condensation and hysteresis behavior. A combination of phenomena such as delayed pore condensation, advanced pore condensation, pore blocking/percolation and cavitation induced evapn. can be obsd., which is reflected in characteristic types of adsorption hysteresis. These complex hysteresis loops introduce of course a considerable complication for pore size anal., but if interpreted correctly, provide important information about the pore structure/network, which is crucial for obtaining a comprehensive and accurate textural anal. of advanced micro-mesoporous materials.
