Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers as theranostic platforms for cancer treatment

Both nanoscale metal organic frameworks (NMOFs) with ordered crystalline structure and nanoscale coordination polymers (NCPs) which instead show non-crystalline structure are formed by coordination interactions between inorganic metal ions or clusters with organic bridging ligands. NMOFs and NCPs have shown great potential in the field of biomedicine in recent years, owning to their unique advantages including inherent biodegradability, the...
