Metal–organic framework
Videos
Metal–organic frameworks are a class of coordination polymers consisting of metal clusters, also known as secondary building units, coordinated to organic ligands to form one-, two-, or three-dimensio

Metal–organic framework
…organic frameworks (COFs) are made entirely from light elements (H, B, C, N, and O) with extended structures. Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025 for their work on MOFs. The discovery of coordination polymers, or as later termed metal-organic…
