The chapter presented hereafter, outlines the narrow link between chemistry and crystallography that impelled the identification of polymorphism and provided a priceless grounding to understand structure-properties relationship. It was initially conceived for organic substances but actually embraced by metal–organic products, especially in the study of coordination polymers. All of the technologic advances have provided profound insights on the control of crystal structures formation revealing that any applied stimulus over a substance can undergo a structural transformation. This has led to the implementation of several methodologies in the industrial and academic segment shedding light on the source of hitherto, not well understood results.

Four new Ni(ii) metal–organic frameworks with diverse structures have been synthesized under different conditions. The structural transformation from compound 4 to 3 has also been investigated.

Among different types of polymorphism, disappearing polymorphism deals with the metastable kinetic form which can not be reproduced after its first isolation. In the world of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), despite the fact that many types of supramolecular isomerism exist, we are unaware of disappearing supramolecular isomerism akin to disappearing polymorphism. This work reports a MOF with dia topology that could not be reproduced, but subsequent synthesis yielded another supramolecular isomer, a double-pillared-layer MOF. When perylene was added in the same reaction, the disappeared dia MOF reappeared with perylene as a guest in the channels. Interestingly, the photoluminescence of the dia MOF with a perylene guest is dominated by the emission of the guest molecule. The influence of guest molecules on the stabilization of the supramolecular isomers of a MOF opens up a strategy to access MOFs with different structures.
