Reticular chemistry, the linking of molecular building units by strong bonds to make crystalline, extended structures such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), is currently one of the most rapidly expanding fields of science. In this contribution, we outline the origins of the field; the key intellectual and practical contributions, which have led to this expansion; and the new directions reticular chemistry is taking that are changing the way we think about making new materials and the manner with which we incorporate chemical information within structures to reach additional levels of functionality. This progress is described in the larger context of chemistry and unexplored, yet important, aspects of this field are presented.
网状化学，即将分子构建单元通过强键连接起来，形成结晶、扩展结构，如金属-有机骨架（MOFs）、沸石咪唑骨架（ZIFs）和共价有机骨架（COFs），是目前科学领域发展最快的领域之一。在这篇文章中，我们概述了该领域的起源；关键的智力和实践贡献，这导致了这一扩张；以及网状化学正在采取的新方向，这些方向正在改变我们制造新材料的方式，以及我们在结构中纳入化学信息以达到更高功能水平的方式。这一进展在化学的更大背景下进行了描述，并提出了该领域尚未探索但重要的方面。
