Conspectus Porous metal phosphonate frameworks (PMPFs) as a subclass of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have promising applications in the fields of gas adsorption and separation, ion exchange and storage, catalysis, sensing, etc. Compared to the typical carboxylate-based MOFs, PMPFs exhibit higher thermal and water stability due to the strong coordination ability of the phosphonate ligands. Despite their robust frameworks, PMPFs account for less than 0.51% of the porous MOFs reported so far. This is because metal phosphonates are highly susceptible to the formation of dense layered or pillared-layered structures, and they precipitate easily and are difficult to crystallize. There is a tendency to use phosphonate ligands containing multiple phosphonate groups and large organic spacers to prevent the formation of dense structures and generate open frameworks with permanent porosity. Thus, many PMPFs are composed of chains or clusters of inorganic metal phosphonates interconnected by organic spacers. Using this feature, a wide range of metal ions and organic components can be selected, and their physical properties can be modulated. However, limited by the small number of PMPFs, there are still relatively few studies on the physical properties of PMPFs, some of which merely remain in the description of the phenomena and lack in-depth elaboration of the structure–property relationship. In this Account, we review the strategies for constructing PMPFs and their physical properties...
