Host's project description
Professor Yaghi is the worldwide leading chemist working in ultra-porous materials consisting of metal ions and organic frameworks, so-called MOFs. They span two- or three-dimensional networks which, through artful synthesis design, enable the storage of a large variety of important gaseous molecules such as water, hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. His ground-breaking discoveries on MOFs as storage materials allow inter alia to capture liquid water from the atmosphere of a desert. In Germany, he will extend his research in synthesizing novel metal-free covalent networks probing them not only for gas storage but also as nano- and mesoscopic reaction vessel towards coupling of small molecules. Professor Yaghi is hosted by Professor Matthias Driess at the Technical University Berlin.
