With the advent of new analytical technologies and a firm grasp on the fundamentals of chemical reactivity, the area of coordination-driven self-assembly has grown significantly over the last number of years. This field can be roughly divided into two subcategories: the solution and solid state based area of molecular architecture and the more materials-oriented discipline of coordination polymers and network solids. The former deals exclusively with single molecules that form in solution before crystallizing out, while the latter is focused on infinite systems in the solid state. Both hope to present chemists with large and well-defined, novel compounds that may have several potential applications and can be synthesized with relative ease and predictability. One of the most interesting and challenging fields is coordination polymers. Helping to link the black and white worlds of organic and inorganic chemistry, coordination polymers can simply be described as the bridging of coordinated metal centers with organic ligands resulting in supramolecular structures. In this section, we present an overview of methods for the preparation of coordination compounds and coordination polymers in two forms of bulk and nano. Here we summarize the effects of some factors such as structure and morphology of the products.
