Hexabenzoic Acid, known by its CAS number 1835723-11-9, is more than just a chemical compound; it's a precisely engineered molecular architecture that unlocks new possibilities in materials science. Its intricate structure is the key to its effectiveness as a linker in the formation of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), materials renowned for their exceptional porosity and tailored functionalities.
At its core, Hexabenzoic Acid features a rigid triptycene-like scaffold. This three-dimensional, propeller-shaped structure provides inherent rigidity and defined spatial orientation. Attached to this core, at specific positions, are six benzoic acid groups. Each benzoic acid moiety contributes a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. These carboxylic acid groups are the active sites that coordinate with metal ions or clusters during MOF synthesis. The hexa-functional nature of the molecule means that each Hexabenzoic Acid unit can potentially link with multiple metal centers, leading to the formation of extended, three-dimensional networks. The specific arrangement of these six carboxylates allows for the construction of MOFs with high connectivity and often intricate pore geometries.
The precise spatial arrangement of the carboxylate groups, dictated by the rigid triptycene core, is crucial for forming highly ordered and crystalline MOF structures. This structural control is what allows researchers to design MOFs with specific pore sizes and shapes, essential for applications like selective gas adsorption and separation. For instance, the creation of MOFs like NU-1500-Cr/Cr-acs-MOF relies on linkers like Hexabenzoic Acid to achieve their remarkable properties. When considering the purchase of this chemical, understanding its structural nuances helps R&D scientists anticipate its behavior in synthesis and predict the potential properties of the resulting MOF. As a manufacturer and supplier, we are dedicated to providing Hexabenzoic Acid of the highest purity, ensuring that its structural integrity is maintained, thereby facilitating successful MOF synthesis for diverse industrial and research applications.
