Abstract
The concept of topology is frequently used to describe the structures of reticular materials such as metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, metal-organic polyhedra, and covalent organic polyhedra. Here, we present the basics of this way of describing structures of chemical compounds. We outline a general approach to the deduction of a net topology for a given structure by deconstructing it into its building units. This approach can also be used for the reticular retrosynthesis of novel structures. The nomenclature according to the RCSR is introduced and the most important topologies in the realm of reticular chemistry for 3D, 2D, and 0D structures are compiled and elucidated.
