This chemical is primarily used in the development of advanced materials, particularly in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Its structure, featuring multiple carboxylate groups, allows it to act as a versatile linker in constructing MOFs with high porosity and surface area. These MOFs are employed in gas storage, separation processes, catalysis, and controlled drug delivery due to their ability to selectively adsorb molecules. Additionally, its rigid and extended aromatic core makes it suitable for applications in organic electronics, such as in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or photovoltaic devices, where it can enhance charge transport properties. The compound’s stability and functional groups also make it a candidate for use in sensor technologies, particularly for detecting specific gases or small molecules.
