Abstract
The reduction of crystal structures to topological networks is a very powerful tool in the design, analysis and classification of crystalline materials, particularly coordination polymers including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The networks can be labeled according to a variety of nomenclature schemes, and it is important that the nodes and links in the simplification are clearly related to the real chemical structure. A variety of 1D, 2D and 3D nets are discussed, as well as the impact of entanglement and interpenetration on topological descriptions.
