Coordination polymers

The crystal engineering of coordination polymers has always held great potential for applications in many areas, such as molecular magnetism, heterogeneous catalysis, molecular sieving and non-linear optics. In recent times that potential has been realised, with many new materials with useful applications reported. In addition, many new interesting network topologies and unusual modes of interpenetration have been discovered. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
