Abstract
Coordination polymers are highly crystalline tectons [1] made of inorganic metal ions coordinately bonded to multifunctional organic ligands forming 1D (Chains, Ladders, or Tapes 2D (Sheets or Bilayers) and 3D (MOFs) structures [2-12]. The IUPAC definition of the coordination compound as any compound that a central atom (ion or neutral molecule surrounded by a ligand [8]. The term polymer which was used to describe the basic building block multiple units was first introduced by J. J. Berzelius in 1833 [8]. While H. Staudinger in 1922 [8] introduced the term organic polymers, when he proposed that organic polymers formed through the covalently bonding of colloids [8]. Porous coordination polymers (PCP) are the porous form of coordination polymers. As the first man made cyano coordination polymer Prussian Blue, made by Diesbach 1704 [1b]. Followed by Hofmann clathrates also cyano linked coordination polymer reported by a Russian group [1] during the world war II. The network approach to coordination polymer was outlined by Robson, Hoskins and co-workers, (Figure 1.1). 2D- and 3D-coordination polymers are known as coordination network solids, (Figure 1.2 Shows the different types of ligands used for the 2D MOFs synthesis [7]. Metal-organic frameworks are a subclass of coordination network solids, which is a subclass of coordination polymers. According to IUPAC, Metal-Organic Framework is a Coordination Polymer (or Coordination Network) with a porous network [8].
