Abstract
An account is given of the basic nets that are important in the description and design of metal-organic framework (MOF) structures. These are generally of minimal transitivity, a concept which is explained. Derived nets are defined and the advantages of using derived nets to describe the topology of MOF frameworks with multiple branch points are emphasized.

For the lover of chemistry, the appeal is the extraordinary cornucopia of beautiful and unprecedented structures that have emerged and the remarkable success that has been achieved by producing materials with targeted structures by design. This has brought about a paradigm shift in the way we think about crystal structures: from point sets to connected point sets, i.e., graphs
Summary
An account is given of the basic nets that are important in the description and design of metal-organic framework (MOF) structures. This article is concerned only with the structures of MOFs with finite SBUs. The shapes of the metal SBUs are defined by points of extension, in the examples shown in the figure carboxylate carbon atoms, where the SBUs are joined to the organic component.
