Metal–Organic Frameworks and Coordination Polymers Composed of Sulfur-based Nodes

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) with metal–sulfur bonds in their secondary building units (SBUs), are promising materials for use in semiconductors, conductivity applications, and photocatalysis. This review describes synthetic approaches to obtain highly crystalline samples, in addition to a discussion of the dimensionalities of the SBUs and the functionalities of sulfur-based CPs/MOFs. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) are composed of secondary building units (SBUs) and organic linker. Oxygen is the successful coordinated anion. Recently, sulfur is used as the coordinated anion in SBU, and sulfur-based MOFs and CPs have been attracted as unique materials. In this highlight review, the development of sulfur-based MOFs and CPs are introduced.
