Abstract
Recently, syntheses of epoch-making space materials using coordination compounds are underway by various groups. The rational synthetic strategy of the space of coordination compounds provides unique structures and functions, which have not been found in traditional materials. Now, we intend to focus on this scientific field from a new viewpoint. We define coordination space as the space where the coordination bond plays an important role in the formation of the spatial structures and where various physical properties are exhibited. In this article, we focus on the coordination spaces provided by porous coordination polymers, and their uniqueness is illustrated with current representative results.
