Nanocrystals of coordination polymers

Abstract

This review highlights the recent progress of nanosize crystals based on coordination polymers (CP). Development of synthetic method with controllable size and shape in nanometer regime as well as understanding of size and surface effects of the CP nanocrystals is urgently requisite on behalf of future application of them to new organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials.
