In recent decades, the amorphous state of crystalline coordination polymers (CPs) constructed from metal ions and molecular bridging ligands via coordination bonds, has received a lot of attention as an emerging class of materials. Among them, only a few undergo vitrification and demonstrate glassy behavior. Opportunities for discovering unique functionality in amorphous and glassy CPs have been demonstrated with potential advantages of isotropic structure, grain-boundary free structure, variable pore distribution, defect engineering, and transparency. This review begins by introducing the background and important discoveries of amorphous and glassy CPs. The amorphization method and essential characterization techniques are discussed for understanding the structure and functionality of amorphous and glassy CPs. We also review the current stage of properties and applications in ionic, mechanical, magnetic, thermodynamic, porosity, biomedical, optics, and catalysis. We finally conclude by presenting current challenges and perspectives on future research directions.

近几十年来，由金属离子和分子桥配体通过配位键构成的无定形结晶配位聚合物（CPs）作为一类新兴材料受到了广泛关注。其中，只有少数经历了玻璃化并表现出玻璃状行为。已经证明了在无定形和玻璃态 CP 中发现独特功能的机会，具有各向同性结构、晶界自由结构、可变孔分布、缺陷工程和透明度的潜在优势。这篇综述首先介绍了非晶态和玻璃态 CPs 的背景和重要发现。讨论了非晶化方法和基本表征技术，以了解非晶态和玻璃态 CP 的结构和功能。我们还回顾了离子、机械、磁性、热力学、孔隙率、生物医学、光学和催化领域的特性和应用的当前阶段。最后，我们提出了当前的挑战和对未来研究方向的看法。
