Susumu Kitagawa’s indexed work centers on the design and chemistry of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). His foundational 2004 review, "Functional Porous Coordination Polymers," with over 11,000 citations, established the concept of designing dynamic, functional pore spaces within crystalline coordination networks. This was extended by his senior-authored 2009 *Nature Chemistry* perspective on soft porous crystals, which described frameworks that undergo reversible structural transformations in response to guest molecules. His 2014 senior-authored review in *Chemical Society Reviews* further codified the field, while his 2003 work on gated channels specific for supercritical gases demonstrated a key functional behavior of these materials. Among his other representative contributions, Kitagawa was a co-author on the 2005 *Nature* paper reporting highly controlled acetylene accommodation in a metal–organic microporous material, a landmark in selective gas storage. He also contributed to the IUPAC-recommended terminology for metal–organic frameworks and coordination polymers (2013), helping to standardize the field’s nomenclature. Earlier work includes the 1997 report of a three-dimensional framework with channeling cavities for small molecules based on Co, Ni, and Zn, which helped define the structural principles of the area. Across these efforts, Kitagawa’s research has consistently advanced the understanding of how coordination space can be chemically engineered for selective sorption, catalysis, and dynamic behavior.
