Metal-organic coordination polymers

Hybrid framework compounds, including both metal-organic coordination polymers and systems that contain extended inorganic connectivity (extended inorganic hybrids), have recently developed into an important new class of solid-state materials. We examine the diversity of this complex class of materials, propose a simple but systematic classification, and explore the chemical and geometrical factors that influence their formation. We also discuss the growing evidence that many hybrid frameworks tend to form under thermodynamic rather than kinetic control when the synthesis is carried out under hydrothermal conditions. Finally, we explore the potential applications of hybrid frameworks in areas such as gas separations and storage,... 

Octahedral coordination polymers remain much less common that their diamondoid counterparts, but a recent report revealed a novel metal-organic coordination polymer, Zn40(BDC)3 (BDC = benzenedicarboxylate) that suggests an exciting future for such compounds.26 Zn40(BDC)3 is a relatively simple and inexpensive...

As a different immobilization strategy for the heterogeneous asymmetric catalyst. Ding et cd. developed a self-supported polymer catalyst for the flow asymmetric reduction [140]. Self-assembly of chiral multitopic ligands and reactive metal ions afforded homochiral metal-organic coordination polymers, which exhibited...
