The Chemistry Nobel laureates established a new grammar of matter

• Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative materials featuring porous crystalline structures with high internal surface areas.

• MOFs can trap greenhouse gases, harvest drinking water, and store clean fuels like hydrogen and methane, highlighting their role in sustainability amid climate change.

• The 2023 Chemistry Nobel Prize honors the developers of MOFs, with roots tracing back to the 1980s and the work of Richard Robson, who initiated the design of molecular architectures.

• Susumu Kitagawa developed a 3D framework in 1997 that could hold and release gases, followed by Omar Yaghi, who pioneered reticular chemistry, enabling systematic design of MOFs.

• Yaghi’s MOF-5, introduced in 1999, showcased exceptional stability and a vast internal area equivalent to an entire football field.

• The establishment of a new grammar of matter allowed for the creation of thousands of MOFs, advancing prototypes to practical applications in industries.

• Future challenges include enhancing MOF durability in real-world conditions and scaling production, alongside the need for precise engineering for integration in technologies like batteries.

• The laureates’ achievement exemplifies the potential of chemistry to innovate not just materials but also the imagination regarding molecular design.

Scientific Breakthrough in Chemistry is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
