N1 - Funding Information:
Dr. Mohamed B. Zakaria received his BSc and MSc degrees from Tanta University in 2007 and 2011, respectively. He received his PhD from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan in 2016. His PhD study was the optimized synthesis of PB and PBAs cyano-bridged CPs with precise control over their sizes and shapes. PB and PBAs are used as precursors for preparation of new functional nanostructured inorganic materials for catalytic, biomedical, and energy-related applications. In 2016, he was awarded the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellowship for researcher who have an excellent record of research achievements. He is doing his postdoctoral research at National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan. He is a lecturer of Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.

N2 - Coordination polymers (CPs) have gained a great deal of attention over the years because of their beneficial uses in catalysis, drug-delivery, and energy storage and separation. Recent research efforts have been devoted to architecting CPs that satisfy the needs of applications that have recently been developed. Herein, we announce a survey of the latest developments in the synthesis of Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) cyano-bridged CPs. The recent synthetic concepts and the modest control over the shape and size of particles are demonstrated to the present. Various ways have been taken to construct nanostructured inorganic materials from PB and PBAs. We surveyed one such example: the thermal decomposition of these materials in different environments. The regulated thermal treatment of their nanostructures as precursors, in air or inert atmosphere, yields nanoporous metal oxides and carbides or alloys, respectively. The resulting metal frameworks participate as metal sources, and the organic components, which can be removed by a simple process of calcination, produce pores. The original morphologies are almost retained, even after the thermal treatments. This strategy has proved to be a promising solid-state chemistry for the fabrication of nanoporous metal oxides and carbides or alloys with the similar morphology.
