The Reticular Revolution: UChicago takes Metal-Organic Frameworks from discovery to design
The long-awaited era of rational materials design has transitioned from theory to reality. This paradigm shift in chemical synthesis, known as reticular chemistry, was recently formalized on the global stage by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which recognized the foundational work of Richard Robson, Omar Yaghi, and Susumu Kitagawa in pioneering Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).
