Reticular Chemistry Unpacked: Building the Molecular Future
About this episode
In this deep-dive episode, we explore reticular chemistry—the design of extended, highly connected frameworks built from modular building blocks. From MOFs to COFs, we discuss addressability, pioneering ideas, and real-world applications in gas storage, water harvesting, catalysis, energy storage, healthcare, and environmental remediation. Grounded in two research papers and a news article, we trace the field's evolution, its challenges, and the ethical considerations of deploying these powerful materials—shedding light on how atomic-scale design could reshape energy, environment, and health.
