The fields of coordination polymers (CPs) and supramolecular metallopolymers (SMPs) have been extensively studied for decades. Spectacular recent advances in both fields have created new compounds that lie at the interface between these two classes of organic‐inorganic hybrid materials. At this interface, materials based on molecular weaving, supramolecular clusters, and metal‐organic framework‐polymer hybrids have emerged. This minireview provides a perspective on the intellectual emergence and connection between different supramolecular constructs and the state of the art with respect to this new materials interface.
