Abstract
Abstract The copper(I) halide aggregates represent a versatile family in coordination chemistry and crystal engineering. First discovered a century ago these species have been intensively investigated in the last three decades because of their structural and luminescent uniqueness. This account reviews their research history and frontier (Section 1 ), synthetic routes (Section 2 ) and structural diversity (Section 3 ), and also offers personal perspectives (Section 4 ) on the growth, property and application of the copper(I) halide aggregates in coordination polymers.
