Doping very small amounts of Ru(II) into a flexible, ultramicroporous, fluorescent Zn(II) coordination polymer produced phosphorescent materials with very high and tunable oxygen quenching efficiency; and a simple color-changing ratiometric oxygen sensor has been constructed.

A 1-D coordination polymer, constructed using a combination of diols and phenolic oximes, contains a novel [Mn(9)] sub-unit, a nanosized [Mn(40)] octagonal super-structure and a [Mn(21)] repeating unit.

Nanoscale titania particles were synthesized inside the porous coordination polymer [Zn(4)O(bdc)(3)] (bdc = 1,4-benzene-dicarboxylate, MOF-5) by adsorption of titanium isopropoxide from the gas-phase and subsequent dry oxidation and annealing.

Molecular motions of methanol adsorbed in 1D nanochannels of pillared-layer coordination polymer with paramagnetic metal ions have been studied by (2)H NMR together with X-ray crystallography.

An Eu-based metallo-supramolecular polymer (polyEu) was prepared by self-assembly coordination polymerization. Unique vapoluminescence property of polyEu triggered by acid-base vapor was found and a photoluminescence display in switchable imaging by acid-base vapor was fabricated.

Front Cover: In articule number 2000394 by Andreas Lendlein and co-workers, a multifunctional material based on rhodium-phosphine coordination polymer network is capable of stimuli-responsive fluorescence, reshapeability, selfhealing, allows modular fabrication.
