On October 8, 2025, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of metal-organic frameworks” was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa (Australia), Richard Robson (Australia), and Omar M. Yaghi (USA).
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a construction kit in which metal units (iron, zinc, and zirconium ions) are connected via organic linkers, resulting in a "superporous" material.
