The use of transition metals in coordination-directed self-assembly is an extremely active area of research, especially for the synthesis of metal-organic coordination networks, whether finite (triangles, squares, etc.) or infinite networks. 

In 2000, Seo et al. [39] demonstrated the use of MOFs in enantioselective catalysis using d-POST-1, a homochiral metal-organic coordination network (MOCN) constructed from a chiral carboxylic acid in combination with Zn " " ions (Figure 5.4).

Several metal-organic polymers assembled by dithioether ligands, which are functionalized by heteroelements such as O, N, or Si in the spacer unit, have been recently described and reacted with Cu(I) salts. For example, the 2D square-grid coordination polymer 37 incorporating the 16-membered dithiaoxa crown-ether L37 has been prepared by a self-assembly process involving the interaction of the dithiaoxa macrocycle with CuCN (Scheme 17) the parallel reaction of the dithiaoxa crown-ether with Cul afforded the ID double-stranded coordination polymer 37 . This example demonstrates, how the nature of the counterion can control the form of the network.157... 

The map of hybrid nanomaterials in Figure 24.2 not only helps us view which are the distinct research topics but also how they are related to each other. It illustrates, for example, that the cluster on coordination polymers, crystal engineering, and metal-organic frameworks (top left) is very weakly related to the rest of the network.
