Coordination Polymers (CPs) are opening up a new field in porous materials. A large number of CPs have been so far synthesized and characterized because of their versatile applicability to gas storage, molecular sieves, size- or shape-selective catalysis, and ion exchange. Moreover, CPs, in spite of their crystalline form, are suitable for creating flexible and dynamic porous frameworks, which are hardly realized by inorganic zeolites and carbon materials. We described here the several unique structures and functions of CPs.
