Metal-phenolic network

A metal-phenolic network is a supramolecular coordination structure which consists of metal ions and polyphenols. These materials were first reported by an Australian group at The University of Melbourne. MPN materials can be coated on versatile substrates to form nanostructured films,[1] and the toolbox of metal ions has been further extended across the periodic table.[2] Due to their significant versatile coating and multifunctional properties, MPN-based materials has been one of the fastest growing fields in chemistry and materials science.
