Supramolecular metallogrid complexes are metalloclusters involving metal ions in planar array arrangements and organic ligands in perpendicular arrangements at each corner of the metal sites. Such essentially metal ion arrays have attracted great attention in the last three decades owing to their variety of interesting optical, electronic and magnetic properties. Among them, metallogrids containing more than one type of metal, that is heterometallic grids, are rare but have more potential to engineer a higher level functionality into one molecule. However, until now, only dozens of heterometallic grids have been reported without any specific review. Herein, we aim to give an overview of the assembly strategies, the physicochemical properties, and finally some perspectives on the future development of heterometallic grids.
超分子金属网格配合物是涉及平面排列的金属离子和每个金属位点角处垂直排列的有机配体的金属簇。由于其具有多种有趣的光学、电子和磁性特性，这些基本上由金属离子组成的阵列在过去三十年中引起了极大的关注。其中，含有不止一种金属的金属网格，即杂金属网格，虽然比较少见，但更有潜力将更高水平的功能集成到一个分子中。然而，到目前为止，仅报道了几十个杂金属网格，而没有任何专门的综述。在此，我们旨在概述杂金属网格的组装策略、物理化学性质，并对其未来发展进行展望。
