Abstract

AbstractMetal–organic polyhedra (MOPs), are discrete metal–organic molecular assemblies. They are useful as host molecules that can provide tailorable internal volume in terms of metrics, functionality, and active metal sites. As a result, these materials are potentially useful for a variety of applications, such as highly selective guest inclusion and gas storage, and as nanoscale reaction vessels. This review identifies the nine most important polyhedra, and describes the design principles for the five polyhedra most likely to result from the assembly of secondary building units, and provides examples of these shapes that are known as metal–organic crystals.

Informally the dual of a polyhedron is the polyhedron obtained by putting new vertices in the old faces and joining them by new edges to vertices in contiguous faces. The dual of a dual is the original polyhedron.
If an edge‐transitive polyhedron has two kinds of vertex the faces must have an even number of edges so the vertices alternate round the perimeter. Similarly if an edge‐transitive polyhedron has two kinds of face the coordination (valence) of each vertex must be even so faces alternate around a vertex. But no convex polyhedron can have even coordination number and even‐sided faces; the smallest possibility is 44and this corresponds already to the net of the planar square lattice (on a surface of zero curvature). Accordingly there are no edge‐transitive polyhedra with two kinds of vertex and two kinds of face.

The RCSR (Reticular Chemistry Structure Resource) contains data for polyhedra and periodic nets and can be searched in a variety of ways including by symbol (http://rcsr.anu.edu.au/).
We exclude cases of multiple links between a given pair of polygons. These include for example prisms in which pairs ofn‐gons are linked bynequivalent links.
