General description

3-Pyridinepropionic acid is commonly used as ligand to make coordination polymers. Crystal structure of 3-pyridinepropionic acid (3-(pyridin-3-yl) propionic acid ) has been investigated.

Application

3-Pyridinepropionic acid (PPA) may be used:
  • in the preparation of new coordination polymers of Ag, Cu and Zn, via reaction with AgNO3, Cu(NO3)2·6H2O and Zn(NO32·6H2O in MeOH
  • in the hydrothermal synthesis of coordination polymers, [Zn(PPA)2(H2O)2]n and [Cd(PPA)2]n
  • as bidentate chelating agent for the chelation of rare-earth ions, Eu3+ and Tb3+ for the fluorescence enhancement in sol-gels
