Polymer based nanocontainers have attracted a myriad of

interests due to their functional groups, mechanical stability, combining with

inner voids and large speci?c surface area. Preparation of polymer

nanocontainers with speci?c nonspherical geometric morphology, precisely

controllable structure, composition, and functionalities still remains a

signi?cant challenge. Here, we report a method that enables synthesizing

nonspherical polymer nanocontainers with di?erent morphologies and

properties by using anisotropic metal?organic coordination compounds as

templates. The preparation process is based on the stronger monomer’s

binding ability to metal cations than that to the organic linkers. The

correlation between the binding energy and the formation of the hollow

structure is calculated theoretically. Polymer nanocontainers with multiple

morphologies (such as octahedron, dodecahedron, etc.) are constructed by

expanding template materials. The as-prepared polymer nanocontainers exhibit active properties (biomedical and energy storage)

that derive from the intrinsic nature as well as further functionalization, suggesting promising candidates in thermo-chemo cancer

eradication, Li-ion batteries, and so on.
