title: Tackling a difficult question: how do crystals of coordination polymers form?
abstract: Some questions are hard to address, and equally hard to ignore. Recent work by C. Y. Su et al. [Jiang et al. (2014), IUCrJ, 305-317] concerns a highly challenging aspect of crystalline coordination polymers - trying to understand how they form.
