摘要：

Modern coordination chemistry has the expanding ability to mimic form and structure in biology. This review highlights the diversity of architectural motifs currently known in coordination chemistry. It highlights the role of metal-directed self-assembly in their formation. Further, the review establishes general principles for the description of structural complexity in coordination compounds along the lines of that employed in biology.
