🔆 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 – A New Grammar of Matter

📍 Key Facts:
✅ The 2025 Chemistry Nobel was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Omar Yaghi, and Richard Robson for developing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) — a revolutionary class of materials redefining chemistry.
✅ MOFs are porous crystalline structures built from metal ions linked to organic molecules, offering vast internal surface areas.
✅ Their tunable cavities can trap greenhouse gases, harvest water from air, and store clean fuels like hydrogen or methane.
✅ Kitagawa (Japan) created 3D frameworks of cobalt/nickel/zinc; Yaghi (U.S.) achieved high-stability zinc-based MOFs; Robson (Australia) pioneered the conceptual model of engineered molecular architectures.
✅ MOFs are now used from industrial reactors to semiconductor manufacturing, showing immense promise for sustainability and clean energy innovation.

📘 Mains Question:
Discuss the significance of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in addressing global environmental and energy challenges. How do they exemplify the intersection of chemistry and sustainability?
