Description

1,3,5-Tri(3-Carboxyphenyl)Benzene is a high-purity, multifunctional aromatic carboxylic acid derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced material synthesis. Its rigid, symmetrical structure with three peripheral carboxyl groups makes it an invaluable precursor for constructing complex metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic polymers (COPs). This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of materials science, catalysis, and nanotechnology who require precise molecular components for creating functional porous materials, sensors, and gas storage systems.

Application

• Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Synthesis: A key organic linker for constructing highly porous, crystalline MOFs with large surface areas for gas storage (H₂, CO₂, CH₄) and separation.
• Covalent Organic Framework (COF) Building Block: Used as a trigonal node in the synthesis of stable, porous COFs for catalysis and environmental remediation.
• Polymer and Dendrimer Chemistry: Serves as a core monomer for creating hyperbranched polymers and star-shaped macromolecules with tailored properties.
• Coordination Chemistry & Catalyst Design: Acts as a polydentate ligand for complexing metal ions, forming catalysts for organic transformations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Potential precursor in the synthesis of complex drug molecules and diagnostic agents due to its functionalizable core.
• Advanced Material Research: Fundamental component in academic and industrial R&D for developing new functional materials, including luminescent compounds and molecular sensors.

Quality Control

Our 1,3,5-Tri(3-Carboxyphenyl)Benzene is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, meeting the exacting standards required for advanced material synthesis. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant quality guidelines to support our customers' research and production needs in regulated environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
