Abstract
The 2013 Special Issue of Australian Journal of Chemistry highlights papers on the current state of research in the field of coordination polymer and indicates briefly where some of the future challenges and opportunities in the field may lie. Coordination polymers, which are also widely known as metalorganic frameworks (MOFs), are infinite solid-state networks that can be synthesized from combinations of organic links and metals or metal oxide clusters. In their full paper, Hawes and Kruger report the structural diversity that can be observed when flexible linkers are employed. As part of a series of papers on silver(I) coordination networks, Mak and coworkers report the synthesis of organosilver(I) framework based on underexplored multinuclear heteroaryl ethynide supramolecular synthons. Neville and co-workers report the magnetic properties of a family of 3-D coordination polymers based on the three-connecting ligands 2,4,6 tris(3-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (3-tpt) or 2,4,6 tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (3-tpt).
