The research of coordination polymers remain an extremely active field of material chemistry, coordination chemistry and crystal engineering in recent years due to their various network topologies and their potential applications in many aspects such as guest exchange/separation, gas storage, chiral resolution, selective catalysis, molecular recognition, fluorescence and magnetism. This paper summarizes the recent advancement on the structure of coordination polymer containing triazolate-carboxylate mixed ligands, which focuses chiefly on the role of carboxylate ligand in the crystal structure. The future research and development of coordination polymer constructed from triazole and carboxylate are also prospcted.
