The bigger picture
Challenges and opportunities:
- •
Phenomenal success in metal-organic frameworks for the past two decades has been driven in part by reticular chemistry. The topology-guided reticular chemistry was based on strong bonds to connect building blocks for predictable structures, but the same principle has not been applied to metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs).
- •
Zr-based MOPs are an exceptional material platform for achieving reticular chemistry. Their packing structures can be decoded into underlying topologies.
- •
A new horizon for reticular chemistry has been opened for Zr-based MOPs and their solid-state packing.
