1,3,5-Tri(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene is used as a building block for metal organic frameworks, which is a 3D-microporous material and finds applications in gas adsorption and separation technologies.
1,3,5-Tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H3BTB) is a star-shaped two-dimensional molecule that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of substrates. It can be used as a tritopic bridging ligand that facilitates the functionalization of polyoxometalate-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for potential usage in gas storage, gas separation, and catalysis.
