YELLOW CRYSTALS OR CRYSTALLINE POWDER
Uses
1,3,5-Triphenylbenzene fluorophore as a selective Cu2+ sensor in aqueous media.
Application
1,3,5-Triphenylbenzene is a thermally and photochemically stable fluorescent platform with π-electron-rich characteristics. Starting from this platform, supramolecular, discrete, triphenylbenzene-carbazole, covalent-organic framework, covalent-organic polymer and conjugated polymer based sensors have been developed for the selective detection of polynitroaromatic compounds, trinitrotoluene (TNT), dinitrotoluene (DNT) and picric acid (PA).[1]
Purification Methods
Purify it by chromatography on alumina using *benzene or pet ether as eluents. Crystallise the triphenylbenzene from EtOH (m 174o). [Beilstein 5 H 737, 5 I 370, 5 II 670, 5 III 2563, 5 IV 2732.]
