Gregori Aminoff Prize symposium 2019

The Gregori Aminoff Prize rewards documented, individual contributions in the field of crystallography, including areas concerned with the dynamics of the formation and determination of crystal structures.

The Gregori Aminoff Prize in Crystallography 2019 was awarded to  Michael O’Keeffe, Arizona State University, USA and Omar Yaghi, University of California, Berkeley, USA:

“for their fundamental contributions to the development of reticular chemistry”.
