Coordination Polymers Versus Metal−Organic Frameworks

Different terminologies such as coordination polymers, metal−organic frameworks, and hybrid inorganic and organic framework materials have been used to describe the nonmolecular or extended solid-state structures containing metal ions and organic spacer ligands. In this perspective, we discuss its o...

Description
Summary:	Different terminologies such as coordination polymers, metal−organic frameworks, and hybrid inorganic and organic framework materials have been used to describe the nonmolecular or extended solid-state structures containing metal ions and organic spacer ligands. In this perspective, we discuss its origin as well as the pros and cons of using these terminologies in the literature.
