This feature article describes recent trends and advances in structuring network polymers using a coordination-driven metal-organic framework (MOF)-based template approach to demonstrate the concept of crystal-controlled polymerization in confined nanospaces, forming tailored architectures ranging from simple linear one-dimensional macromolecules to tunable three-dimensional cross-linked network polymers and interwoven molecular architectures. MOF-templated network polymers combine the characteristics and advantages of crystalline MOFs (high porosity, structural regularity, and designability) with the intrinsic behaviors of soft polymers (flexibility, processability, stability, or biocompatibility) with widespread application possibilities and tunable properties. The article ends with a summary of the remaining challenges to be addressed, and future research opportunities in this field are discussed.
这篇专题文章描述了利用基于配位驱动的金属有机框架（MOF）的模板方法构建网络聚合物的最新趋势和进展，以展示在受限纳米空间中晶体控制聚合的概念，形成从简单的线性一维大分子到可调谐的三维交联网络聚合物以及交织分子结构的定制结构。MOF模板化网络聚合物将晶体MOF的特性和优势（高孔隙率、结构规整性和可设计性）与软聚合物的固有特性（柔韧性、可加工性、稳定性或生物相容性）相结合，具有广泛的应用可能性和可调谐性能。文章最后总结了有待解决的剩余挑战，并讨论了该领域未来的研究机会。
