The Research Progress on the Synthesis and Application of Microporous Coordination Polymers

With the deepening of research, microporous coordination polymers, as a new type of molecule based materials, show potential application prospect. They have pore structure diversifications, high specific surface areas, unsaturated coordination sites and coordination mode diversifications, and their performance are better than the general pure inorganic porous materials and pure organic porous materials. Researchers have synthesized a large number of porous coordination polymers with different structures and properties by using different synthetic methods, different ligands and different metal ion reactions . At the same time, the application of their various properties such as gas storage, molecular separation, heterogeneous catalysis and nonlinear optical materials, are also gradually explored. Microporous Coordination Polymers is usually a complex of metal ions and small molecule ligands by self- assembling and forming a highly structured network with unlimited network structure (1) . In recent years, the design and synthesis of novel metal organic coordination polymers have attracted more and more research on the development and utilization of materials (2-3) . This is due to their potential applications in catalysis, gas storage and separation, molecular recognition, magnetic, ion exchange and nonlinear optics (4-6) .
