Developing hierarchical ordered systems is challenging. Using organo-macrocycles to
construct metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination cages (PCCs) …

In this Minireview, we discuss the fundamental chemistry of soft porous crystals (SPCs) by
characterizing their common structural features and the resulting structural softness and …

Reticular chemistry has been focused on making simple structures in which a few kinds of
components are linked to make crystals such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). While …

A bottom-up chemical synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) permits significant
structural diversity because of various combinations of metal centers and different organic …

Interlocked molecular assemblies constitute a captivating ensemble of chemical topologies,
comprising two or more separate components that exhibit remarkably intricate structures …

Since the late 1990s, much progress has been made in the field of the chemistry of flexible
porous coordination polymers (PCPs). Various PCP architectures have been recognized …

Background Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are made by linking inorganic and organic
units by strong bonds (reticular synthesis). The flexibility with which the constituents' …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed from metal ions/clusters coordinated by
organic linkers (or bridging-ligands). The hallmark of MOFs is their permanent porosity …

The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

A mechanical bond presents a combination of the best features of covalent and
supramolecular chemistries (stability and structural integrity), plus a unique dynamic nature …
