Used as a linker in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its rigid aromatic structure and multiple carboxylic acid groups, enabling the formation of porous and thermally stable materials. These MOFs are applied in gas storage, separation processes, and catalysis. The compound’s extended π-conjugated system also makes it suitable for designing functional materials in optoelectronics and sensors. Its structural rigidity contributes to high framework stability, beneficial for industrial adsorption applications.
