33. Direct analogies can be drawn between supramolecular isomerism in coordination polymers and polymorphism in molecular crystals. Indeed, the term "superisomerism" was recently applied to describe polymorphism in molecular crystals: J. D. Dunitz in The Crystal as a Supramolecular Entity (Ed.: G. R. Desiraju), Wiley, Chichester, 1996.
