of Japan Academy on 17 June
2019) Scientific career
Fields Chemistry

He is a professor in the Department of Applied Institutions Nagoya University


Chemistry at the University of Tokyo. He has University of Tokyo
published extensively on the multicomponent assembly
of large coordination cages. Compounds designed and prepared in his research group are variously
described as three-dimensional synthetic receptors, coordination assemblies, molecular paneling,
molecular flasks, crystalline sponges, and coordination capsules.[1][2][3]

He shared the 2018 Wolf Prize in Chemistry with Omar Yaghi "for conceiving metal-directed assembly
principles leading to large highly porous complexes".

Hideki Shirakawa predicted in 2014 that Fujita would win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.[4]
