A metal-phenolic network (MPN) is a supramolecular coordination compound that is derived from metal ions and polyphenols that can be deposited onto nearly any surface.
[1] [2] MPNs adsorb to a wide variety of surfaces due to noncovalent forces.
[3] Possible applications of MPN-based materials include drug delivery, bioimaging, biotechnology, and electrocatalysis.
[4][5] For example, they have been commercialized as antimicrobial and anti-odor coatings under the trade name "SWIFF"[6]
