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 "

Fundamental contributions by French researchers, particularly Gérard Férey and Christian Serre, are missing. Many in the scientific community consider them pioneers, and they could easily have been recognised alongside Kitagawa, Robson and Yaghi. Their group in Versailles developed the famous MIL (Materials of Institut Lavoisier) family, such as MIL-100 with record specific surface area and high stability. These structures paved the way for practical applications in gas storage (H₂, CH₄, CO₂), catalysis and selective separation.
