Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of metal-organic structures
The Nobel Academy explains that the three laureates have developed a new form of molecular architecture. In this architecture, metal ions function as the cornerstones that bind long organic molecules, creating a crystalline structure. These structures have extremely large pores that chemists can design to their own size. In addition, they can cause chemical reactions and conduct electricity.
These features give them immense possibilities for applications that were previously unthinkable. The Nobel Academy has mentioned, among other things, the extraction of water from the desert air, the capture of ethylene from the fruit (which causes the ripening of the surrounding fruits), the storage of carbon dioxide and toxic gases, the filtration of PFAS in water, as well as the targeting and release of drugs to tumors.
