Quotes by Omar Yaghi

“When I started out in chemistry, I always thought it should be possible to take two well defined molecules as building blocks and stitch them together into a predetermined chemical structure—almost like you produce a blueprint of the structure ahead of time and then find the right building blocks necessary to build it. In this way, one can control the structure and the composition. This approach was difficult to implement at the beginning, but is not so difficult at this stage.”

“We have a class of materials in which we can change the components nearly at will. There is no other class of materials where one can do that. The exciting discovery we are reporting is that, using a new material, we have identified a clear path for how to get above seven percent of the material?s weight in hydrogen.”

“We have achieved 7.5 percent hydrogen; we want to achieve this percent at ambient temperatures. We can store significantly more hydrogen with the MOF material than without the MOF.”
