This handkerchief shows the structure of three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that were developed by Susumu Kitagawa in 1992, 1997 and 2003 respectively. The first resembles a honeycomb. The second is the first structure that is stable even after being extracted from its solvent. The third adapts the pores in the structure to the particular gas molecules that are absorbed.
The handkerchief was designed by Mindy Takamiya, a colleague of Kitagawa at the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences at Kyoto University.
Susumu Kitagawa donated the handkerchief to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2025.
