Kim started his academic career at the Department of Chemistry at POSTECH in 1988, where he is now a Distinguished University Professor (POSTECH Fellow). In 1997, Kim was appointed director of the Center for Smart Supramolecules supported by the Creative Research Initiatives program under the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST). He later founded the Division of Advanced Materials Science in POSTECH, launched in 2008 with support from the World Class University Project. On August 1, 2012, he was named founding director of the Center for Self-assembly and Complexity (CSC) under the Institute for Basic Science (IBS).{{cite web |url= https://www.ibs.re.kr/eng/sub02_04_02.do |title= Center for Self-assembly and Complexity - Chemistry - Research Centers |author= |website= Institute for Basic Science |access-date= 11 February 2019 }} The center focuses on non-equilibrium self-assembly, molecular recognition in complex systems, and emergent materials.{{cite web |url= https://csc.ibs.re.kr/html/csc_en/center/center_0103.html |title= About CSC |author= |website= Center for Self-assembly and Complexity |publisher= Institute for Basic Science |access-date= 11 February 2019 }}

=Cucurbiturils=

Cucurbiturils were first synthesized in 1905 by Robert Behrend, by condensing glycoluril with formaldehyde,{{cite journal | doi = 10.1002/jlac.19053390102 | volume=339 | title=I. Ueber Condensationsproducte aus Glycoluril und Formaldehyd | year=1905 | journal=Justus Liebig's Annalen der Chemie | pages=1–37 | last1 = Behrend | first1 = Robert| url=https://zenodo.org/record/1427549 }} but their structure was not elucidated until 1981.

{{cite journal | doi = 10.1021/ja00414a070 | volume=103 | title=Cucurbituril | year=1981 | journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society | pages=7367–7368 | last1 = Freeman | first1 = W. A. | last2 = Mock | first2 = W. L. | last3 = Shih | first3 = N. Y.| issue=24 }} The field expanded as cucurbituril homologues CB5, CB7, and CB8 were discovered and isolated by Kim Kimoon in 2000, which laid the foundation for the development of cucurbituril-based chemistry and supramolecular chemistry.{{Cite journal|last1= Kim |first1= Jaheon |last2= Jung |first2= In-Sun |last3= Kim |first3= Soo-Young |last4= Lee |first4= Eunsung |last5= Kang |first5= Jin-Koo |last6= Sakamoto |first6= Shigeru |last7= Yamaguchi |first7= Kentaro |last8= Kim |first8= Kimoon |author-link8= Kim Kimoon | title = New Cucurbituril Homologues: Syntheses, Isolation, Characterization, and X-ray Crystal Structures of Cucurbit[n]uril(n=5, 7, and 8) | journal = Journal of the American Chemical Society | volume = 122 | issue = 3 | pages = 540–541 | year = 2000 | doi = 10.1021/ja993376p }} Cucurbituril homologues display unique chemical properties as macrocyclic host molecules with exceptionally high binding affinities, and they have found use in host-guest chemistry and formation of supramolecular structures/assembly. This brought more attention to the field, allowing CB10 and CB14 to later be discovered.{{cite journal | last1 = Cheng | first1 = Xiao-Jie | display-authors = etal | year = 2013 | title = Twisted Cucurbit[14]uril | journal = Angewandte Chemie International Edition | volume = 52 | issue = 28| pages = 7252–7255 | doi = 10.1002/ange.201210267 | pmid = 23716359 }} The first CB-dedicated workshop was held in Maryland in 2007 with support from National Science Foundation{{cite book |last1= Kim |first1= Kimoon |author-link1= Kim Kimoon |date= 5 June 2018 |title= Cucurbiturils: Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry and Applications |publisher= World Scientific |page= vii |isbn= 9781848164086 }} which paved the way for the International Conference on Cucurbiturils to be been held every two years from 2009 which was first organized by Kim and hosted at POSTECH.{{cite journal |author= |date= 21 January 2009 |title= ICCB 2009 |url= https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2009/cc/b822010g |journal= ChemComm |pages= 249–356 |access-date= 11 February 2019 |issn= 1359-7345 }}{{cite journal |last1= Masson |first1= Eric |last2= Ling |first2= Xiaoxi |last3= Joseph |first3= Roymon |last4= Kyeremeh-Mensah |first4= Lawrence |last5= Lu |first5= Xiaoyong |date= 9 December 2011 |title= Cucurbituril chemistry: a tale of supramolecular success |url= https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2012/ra/c1ra00768h |journal= RSC Advances |volume= 2012 |issue= 2 |pages= 1213–1247 |doi= 10.1039/C1RA00768H |access-date= 11 February 2019 |quote = These numerical data support Kim's wish expressed during the last evening of the 1st International Conference on Cucurbiturils (July 10 to 11, 2009)held at POSTECH in Pohang, Korea, that CB[n]s would be to the next decade what calixarenes have been to the previous one.|url-access= subscription }} His research on supermolecular chemistry, especially his work on cucurbituril, led him to receive the Izatt-Christensen Award.{{cite web |url= http://times.postech.ac.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=5761 |title= Prof. Kimoon Kim Wins the Izatt-Christensen Award |last= Lee |first= Suh-young |date= 6 September 2011 |website= The Postech Times |publisher= POSTECH |access-date= 11 February 2019 }} In 2018, Kim co-authored the first textbook on cucurbiturils.{{cite web |url= http://www.veritas-a.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=125845 |script-title=ko:포스텍 김기문 교수, 세계최초 쿠커비투릴 책 발간 |last= 김 |first= 하연 |date= 28 August 2018 |website= Veritas-A |access-date= 11 February 2019 |language= ko}}

=Metal-organic framework=

Kim has also focused his research on multifunctional modular porous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks and porous organic cages. Using an enantiopure organic building block and metal ion, his team was able to synthesize a homochiral metal–organic porous material, POST-1, and demonstrate that it works as a chiral catalyst. his group contributed to the development of the modular porous materials field by demonstrating synthetic methodologies and applications. The team later designed and synthesized porphyrin boxes, a new class of porous organic cages consisting of porphyrins. Porphyrin boxes have been applied as a synthetic ion channel, electrochemical catalysis, and construction of hierarchical superstructures.{{cite journal |last1= Mukhopadhyay |first1= Rahul Dev |last2= Kim |first2= Younghoon |last3= Koo |first3= Jaehyoung |last4= Kim |first4= Kimoon |date= 22 October 2018 |title= Porphyrin Boxes |journal= Acc.

=Self-assembly via irreversible covalent bonds=

Unlike conventional nanostructures built by reversible interactions/bonds, Kim discovered that the irreversible thiol-ene polymerization of rigid, disk-shaped building blocks resulted in robust hollow polymer nanocapsules with a narrow size distribution.{{cite journal |last1= Kim |first1= Dongwoo |last2= Kim |first2= Eunju |last3= Kim |first3= Jeeyeon |last4= Park |first4= Kyeng Min |last5= Baek |first5= Kangkyun |last6= Jung |first6= Minseon |last7= Ko |first7= Young Ho |last8= Sung |first8= Wokyung |last9= Kim |first9= Hyung Seok |last10= Suh |first10= Ju Hyung |last11= Park |first11= Chan Gyung |last12= Na |first12= Oh Sung |last13= Lee |first13= Dong‐ki |last14= Lee |first14= Kyung Eun |last15= Han |first15= Sung Sik |last16= Kim |first16= Kimoon |date= 27 April 2007 |title= Direct Synthesis of Polymer Nanocapsules with a Noncovalently Tailorable Surface |journal= Angewandte Chemie |volume= 46 |issue= 19 |pages= 3471–3474 |doi= 10.1002/anie.200604526 |pmid= 17221900 |s2cid= 7894440 }} He was able to control the size, shape, property and functionality of the nanostructured materials, including spheres,{{cite journal |last1= Kim |first1= Dongwoo |last2= Kim |first2= Eunju |last3= Lee |first3= Jiyeong |last4= Hong |first4= Soonsang |last5= Sung |first5= Wokyung |last6= Lim |first6= Namseok |last7= Park |first7= Chan Gyung |last8= Kim |first8= Kimoon |date= 24 June 2010 |title= Direct Synthesis of Polymer Nanocapsules: Self-Assembly of Polymer Hollow Spheres through Irreversible Covalent Bond Formation |journal= Journal of the American Chemical Society |volume= 132 |issue= 28 |pages= 9908–9919 |doi= 10.1021/ja1039242 |pmid= 20572658 |s2cid= 207053581 }} film,{{cite journal |last1= Baek |first1= Kangkyun |last2= Yun |first2= Gyeongwon |last3= Kim |first3= Youngkook |last4= Kim |first4= Dongwoo |last5= Hota |first5= Raghunandan |last6= Hwang |first6= Ilha |last7= Xu |first7= Dan |last8= Ko |first8= Young Ho |last9= Gu |first9= Gil Ho |last10= Suh |first10= Ju Hyung |last11= Park |first11= Chan Gyung |last12= Sung |first12= Bong June |last13= Kim |first13= Kimoon |title= Free-Standing, Single-Monomer-Thick Two-Dimensional Polymers through Covalent Self-Assembly in Solution |journal= Journal of the American Chemical Society |volume= 135 |issue= 17 |pages= 6523–6528 |doi= 10.1021/ja4002019 |pmid= 23574044 |year= 2013 |s2cid= 31450212 }} toroids, and tubular structures.{{cite journal |last1= Lee |first1= Jiyeong |last2= Baek |first2= Kangkyun |last3= Kim |first3= Myungjin |last4= Yun |first4= Gyeongwon |last5= Ko |first5= Young Ho |last6= Lee |first6= Nam-Suk |last7= Hwang |first7= Ilha |last8= Kim |first8= Jeehong |last9= Natarajan |first9= Ramalingam |last10= Park |first10= Chan Gyung |last11= Sung |first11= Wokyung |last12= Kim |first12= Kimoon |date= 5 January 2014 |title= Hollow nanotubular toroidal polymer microrings |journal= Nature Chemistry|volume= 6 |issue= 2 |pages= 97–103 |doi= 10.1038/nchem.1833 |pmid= 24451584 |bibcode= 2014NatCh...6...97L }} They have applications in therapeutics,{{cite journal |last1= Kim |first1= Eunju |last2= Kim |first2= Dongwoo |last3=Jung |first3= Hyuntae |last4= Lee |first4= Jiyeong |last5= Paul |first5= Somak |last6= Selvapalam |first6= Narayanan |last7= Yang |first7= Yosep |last8= Lim |first8= Namseok |last9= Park |first9= Chan Gyung |last10= Kim |first10= Kimoon |date= 14 June 2010 |title= Facile, Template‐Free Synthesis of Stimuli‐Responsive Polymer Nanocapsules for Targeted Drug Delivery |journal= Angewandte Chemie |volume= 49 |issue= 26 |pages= 4405–4408 |doi= 10.1002/anie.201000818 |pmid= 20468019 }}{{cite journal |last1= Hota |first1= Raghunandan |last2= Baek |first2= Kangkyun |last3= Yun |first3= Gyeongwon |last4= Kim |first4= Youngkook |last5= Jung |first5= Hyuntae |last6= Park |first6= Kyeng Min |last7= Yoon |first7= Eunjin |last8= Joo |first8= Taiha |last9= Kang |first9= Juseok |last10= Park |first10= Chan Gyung |last11= Bae |first11= Su Mi |last12= Ahn |first12= Woong Shick |last13= Kim |first13= Kimoon |date= 9 October 2012 |title= Self-assembled, covalently linked, hollow phthalocyanine nanospheres |journal= Chem.
