Description

Phenanthrene-3,4-Dicarboxylic Acid CAS NO 63018-89-3 is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic dicarboxylic acid derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid, planar phenanthrene core with strategically positioned carboxyl groups makes it a valuable precursor for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial R&D departments working on the development of functional materials, including organic semiconductors, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and specialty polymers.

Application

• Organic Semiconductor Precursor: A key monomer for synthesizing n-type organic semiconductors and electron-transport materials used in OLEDs and OFETs.
• Ligand for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Used to construct porous, crystalline MOF materials with applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis.
• Polymer & Polyimide Synthesis: Serves as a diacid monomer for producing high-performance, heat-resistant polymers and polyimides with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with polycyclic aromatic structures.
• Dye & Pigment Chemistry: Acts as an intermediate for synthesizing specialized dyes, pigments, and fluorescent markers.
• Chelating Agent: Functions as a chelating ligand in coordination chemistry for catalyst design and metal ion sequestration.
