Clusters as building blocks have been used for two types of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The first are hybrid polymers, with polymer-like properties and structures, where the cluster units crosslink the polymer chains. They are prepared by co-polymerization of organic monomers with functional ligands attached to the clusters. The second type is crystalline metal-organic framework structures which are obtained by coordination chemistry approaches, i.e. by coordinating multifunctional organic ligands to cluster units. This tutorial review shows that both types of cluster-based materials are limiting cases with many options for varying both the cluster units as well as the connecting organic entities.
作为构建块的簇已被用于两种类型的无机-有机杂化材料。第一种是杂化聚合物，具有类似聚合物的性质和结构，其中簇单元交联聚合物链。它们是通过带有附着在簇上的官能团配体的有机单体共聚制备的。第二种类型是通过配位化学方法获得的结晶金属有机骨架结构，即通过将多功能有机配体配位到簇单元上。本教程综述表明，这两种基于簇的材料都是限制情况，对于改变簇单元以及连接的有机实体都有许多选择。
