In this Perspective article, authors C. Janiak and J. K. Vieth, at the University of Freiburg, Germany, cover the concepts of porous coordination networks, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Materials Institute Lavoisier (MILs), iso-reticular metal–organic frameworks (IR-MOFs), porous coordination networks (PCNs), zeolitic metal–organic frameworks (ZMOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) , and highlight their associated functional properties.
