Used in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to act as a multifunctional linker. The carboxylic acid groups and pyrazole ring enable strong coordination with metal ions, forming porous materials with high thermal stability. These MOFs are applied in gas storage, particularly for hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and show promise in catalysis and chemical sensing. The compound's rigid aromatic backbone enhances framework stability, making it suitable for designing materials with tailored porosity and functionality.
