this should be merged with metal-organic frameworks and the terminology cleared up. MOFs must be porous, coordination polymer is a more inclusive term but is limited in terms of dimensionality. Neither is perfect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.250.52 (talk) 06:26, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there is no rule that MOF:s should be porous, please see: Coordination polymers, metal–organic frameworks and the need for terminology guidelines Stuart R. Batten, Neil R.
