abstract
Interpenetration in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an intriguing phenomenon with significant impacts on the structure, porous nature, and functional applications of MOFs. In this review, we provide an overview of interpenetration involved in MOFs or coordination polymers with different dimensionalities and property changes (especially gas uptake capabilities and catalysis) caused by framework interpenetration. Successful approaches for control of interpenetration in MOFs have also been introduced and summarized. 2013 .
