The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for their work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
According to Vanessa Seifert, this year's recipients are truly chemists, and their work is a great example of a chemical breakthrough. As Derek Lowe has also pointed out in Chemistry World, the development of MOFs is a significant achievement in the field of chemistry.
Lab work is central to much of chemistry
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly porous materials.
- MOFs can capture and store a wide array of molecules.
Author's summary: MOFs are a great choice for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
