Description
5,5′,5”-(((2,4,6-Trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(methylene))tris(oxy))triisophthalic acid (CAS No. 1159974-70-5) is a high-purity, synthetic organic compound with the molecular formula C36H30O15. This trifunctional aromatic carboxylic acid features a central 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene core symmetrically substituted with three isophthalic acid moieties via flexible methyleneoxy linkers. The compound’s unique star-shaped architecture and multiple carboxyl groups make it particularly valuable as a building block for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and other advanced porous materials. With three equivalent reactive sites, it serves as an excellent tridentate ligand for coordination chemistry and polymer synthesis. Offered as a white to off-white crystalline powder with ≥95% purity (HPLC), this product is ideal for researchers developing functional materials for gas storage, separation technologies, or heterogeneous catalysis applications.
