    The versatility of the metal–ligand bond has seen the field of coordination chemistry grow from strength to strength. This collection highlights a selection of recent studies published in Communications Chemistry, covering discrete coordination complexes, metal-organic cages and polymers, and porous metal-organic frameworks. The breadth of the field is evident, with studies ranging in focus from the design, synthesis and assembly of coordination compounds, to their chemical and physical properties, with a view towards applications in optics, magnetism, catalysis, storage, separation, and beyond.

    Communications Chemistry published its first articles on 8th March 2018. In this collection, our in-house editors highlight some of their favorite papers from our first year of publishing. This collection also includes all Review and Comment articles published during our first year. We also link to all 'Behind the Paper' posts published by our authors on some of the Nature Research community sites.
