Description

2',2'',2'''-Benzene-1,3,5-Tribenzoic Acid CAS NO 955050-88-1 is a high-purity, multi-functional aromatic carboxylic acid derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid, symmetrical structure with three benzoic acid arms makes it an invaluable precursor for constructing complex supramolecular architectures and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, materials science, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop novel polymers, catalysts, and functional materials.

Application

• Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Synthesis: Acts as a versatile organic linker or ligand for constructing porous coordination polymers with tailored properties for gas storage, separation, and catalysis.
• Supramolecular Chemistry: Serves as a key building block for creating complex molecular cages, capsules, and networks through coordination bonds or hydrogen bonding.
• Polymer & Dendrimer Production: Used as a trifunctional monomer or cross-linking agent to synthesize high-performance polymers, resins, and dendritic macromolecules.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring a rigid, multi-acid core structure.
• Catalyst & Ligand Design: Functions as a precursor for creating novel chelating ligands used in homogeneous catalysis and asymmetric synthesis.
• Advanced Material Research: Integral in developing new organic electronic materials, liquid crystals, and nano-structured materials due to its precise geometry and functionality.

Quality Control

Our 2',2'',2'''-Benzene-1,3,5-Tribenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
