Alfred Werner's work on the geometric aspects of how ligands bind to metal ions at the end of the 19th century has given rise, in the molecular realm, to organometallic, bioinorganic, and cluster chemistries. By stitching together organic and inorganic units into crystalline porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the connectivity, spatial arrangement, and geometry of those molecular complexes can now be fixed in space and become directly addressable. The fact that MOFs are porous provides additional space within which molecules can further be transformed and their chemistry controlled. An aspect not available in molecular chemistry but a direct consequence of Werner's analysis of coordination complexes is the ability to have multivariable functionality in MOFs to bring about a continuum of chemical environments, within the repeating order of the framework, from which a substrate can sample and be transformed in ways not possible in molecular complex chemistry.
