Used as a versatile building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), this compound acts as a rigid, multitopic linker due to its dual triazole and carboxylic acid functional groups. Its extended aromatic structure enhances framework stability and promotes porosity, making the resulting MOFs suitable for gas storage, separation of small molecules, and catalysis. The nitrogen-rich triazole rings can coordinate with various metal ions, enabling the design of functional materials with tunable properties. Additionally, its structural rigidity contributes to the formation of highly ordered crystalline networks, which are advantageous in sensing and proton conduction applications.
