Electroactive and conducting framework materials, encompassing coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks, have captured the imagination of the scientific community owing to their highly designable nanoporous structures and their potential applications in electrochromic devices, electrocatalysts, porous conductors, batteries and solar energy harvesting systems, among many others. While they are now considered integral members of the broader field of inorganic materials, it is timely to reflect upon their strengths and challenges compared with ‘traditional’ solid-state materials such as minerals, pigments and zeolites. Indeed, the latter have been known since ancient times and have been prized for centuries in fields as diverse as art, archaeology and industrial catalysis. This opinion piece considers a brief historical perspective of traditional electroactive and conducting inorganic materials, with a view towards very recent experimental progress and new directions for future progress in the burgeoning area of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks. Overall, this article bears testament to the rich history of electroactive solids and looks at the challenges inspiring a new generation of scientists. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Mineralomimesis: natural and synthetic frameworks in science and technology’.

As the number of framework materials known and characterized in the literature grows, it becomes apparent that they can carry properties rarely encountered in more conventional, dense inorganic materials. Among these materials with unusual physical or chemical properties are the ubiquitous metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, dense coordination polymers, and molecular frameworks. Many can respond to stimulation by displaying structural responses and changes in properties that range from counter-intuitive to thermodynamically forbidden. In that, they share large similarities with metamaterials, which are engineered to generate properties not found in “normal” materials. We review here the surprising behavior of these meta-MOFs and other framework materials that display properties “beyond” (μετά) the boundaries of common crystalline materials.<br>
