Nobel Lecture Series 2025: Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

The Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) and the Faculty of Life and Allied Health Sciences (FLAHS), M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, cordially invite you to the prestigious Nobel Lecture Series 2025 on the topic "Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): The Material, The Chemistry & The Legacy” by Prof. Tapas K. Maji, Professor, Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit, JNCASR, Bangalore.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry highlights the groundbreaking impact of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)—crystalline, porous materials that have transformed modern materials science and chemistry. Formed through the coordination-driven assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic linkers, MOFs exemplify the principles of reticular chemistry, enabling the rational design of frameworks with extraordinary structural and functional diversity.

MOFs serve as a versatile platform with tunable porosity, chemical adaptability, and functional surfaces. Their applications span across multiple domains, including:

• Drug delivery systems in pharmacy
• Antibacterial agents in dentistry
• Imaging tools and sensors in medicine
• Catalysts and filters in engineering
• Heavy-metal absorption in water purification
• Reactive materials in chemistry
• Smart coatings in textiles

This transformative material class forms a powerful bridge connecting science, engineering, and healthcare, creating an integrated ecosystem of innovation.
