General description

1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H4TCPB) is an organic linker with a molecular structure that has four carboxyl phenyl groups that are symmetrically attached to the central benzene core. It can be synthesized by using a Suzuki coupling reaction.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

(H4TCPB) can be used for a variety of applications such as:
  • the formation of supramolecular heterostructures to functionalize black phosphorus
  • synthesis of microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for potential usage in hydrogen storage, gas separation, and catalysis.

[1,1′:4′,1]Terphenyl- 3,3″,5,5″-tetracarboxylic acid (H4TPTC) is used as a linker molecule for the synthesis of high performance metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
