Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Hydrogen
  • Catalysis

His primary scientific interests are in Metal-organic framework, Nanotechnology, Inorganic chemistry, Porosity and Crystal structure. To a larger extent, he studies Adsorption with the aim of understanding Metal-organic framework. His Nanotechnology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Highly porous, Chemical modification, High surface, Secondary building unit and Topology.

Omar M. Yaghi works mostly in the field of Chemical modification, limiting it down to topics relating to Chemical composition and, in certain cases, Catalysis, as a part of the same area of interest. In his research on the topic of Inorganic chemistry, Imidazolate is strongly related with Zeolitic imidazolate framework. His research integrates issues of Chemical engineering, Chemical stability and Thermal stability in his study of Porosity.

His most cited work include:

  • Reticular synthesis and the design of new materials (6421 citations)
