Abstract

Crystal engineering of metal-organic coordination frameworks based on transition metals and organic spacers is currently attracting significant attention. 1 One of the most important motivations is that programmable crystal engineering may provide a new approach to the synthesis of functional nanoporous materials. 2 In general, the polymer topology can be modified by the chemical structure of the ligands chosen, the coordination geometry preferred by the metal, the inorganic ...
