Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for creating porous materials with blocks of molecules that capture substances and drive reactions "

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Professors Susumu Kitagawa, Omar M. Yaghi, and Makoto Fujita recognizes one of the great revolutions in modern chemistry: the creation of porous materials whose cavities can be controlled at the molecular level. This development is achieved through the controlled bonding of small molecules that, when assembled, give rise to porous architectures.

Thanks to their work, it is now possible to manufacture structures with “holes” specifically designed to trap certain molecules and allow others to pass through. This ability to select and store substances with such precision opens the door to a wide range of applications, such as capturing pollutants such as CO₂, obtaining water from the air, developing new catalysts, and separating complex mixtures.
