The field of anion coordination chemistry has received more and more attention in recent years. A large number of articles, from the initial anion recognition to various applications, have been published in the past few decades. This review will focus on the recent progress in this fast-growing field, emphasizing the anion-ligand coordination properties from structural and geometrical aspects. Firstly, typical anion ligands based on hydrogen bonding are briefly summarized. This is followed by a collection of representative and the most recent examples of anion coordination compounds, whose structures are analyzed in terms of hydrogen bonding parameters and coordination number and geometry. In the third part, recent achievements in anion coordination-based supramolecular assemblies are discussed, and finally developments of two non-classical interactions (anion–π interactions and halogen bonding) in anion coordination and self-assembly processes are also described.

近年来，阴离子配位化学领域受到越来越多的关注。在过去的几十年中，已经发表了许多文章，从最初的阴离子识别到各种应用。这篇综述将集中在这个快速增长的领域的最新进展，从结构和几何方面着重强调阴离子-配体的配位性能。首先，简要总结了基于氢键的典型阴离子配体。接下来是代表性的和最新的阴离子配位化合物的集合，这些阴离子配位化合物的结构根据氢键参数，配位数和几何形状进行了分析。在第三部分中，讨论了基于阴离子配位的超分子组装的最新成就，
