Recently, crystalline metal complexes with regular nanochannel structures have been extensively studied. The characteristic features of these metal complexes are controllable channel structures approximating molecular dimensions, designable pore surface functionality, and flexible frameworks responsive to guest molecules. Owing to these advantages, successful applications range from molecular storage/separation to heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, use of their tunable nanochannels for polymer chemistry can allow precision polymer synthesis and unique polymer confinement. This review article discusses promising approaches to multiple controls of polymer structures, analysis systems for low-dimensional polymer assemblies, and the construction of functional polymer nanohybrid materials.
