title: Designing, Describing and Disseminating New Materials by using the Network Topology Approach.
abstract: This Concept article describes how network topology analysis is applied to different fields of solid-state chemistry. Its usefulness is demonstrated by examples from metal-organic frameworks, group 14 allotropes and related compounds, ice polymorphs, zeolites, supramolecular (organic) solid-state chemistry, Zintl phases, and cathode materials for Li-ion batteries.
