Iron(III) 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate hydrate is widely used in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its porous structure and high surface area. It is particularly valued in gas storage and separation processes, where it efficiently adsorbs and stores gases like hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This compound is also employed in catalysis, where it facilitates various chemical reactions by providing a stable and reactive surface. Additionally, it finds applications in environmental remediation, effectively capturing and removing pollutants from water and air. Its ability to act as a sensor for detecting specific molecules further enhances its utility in analytical chemistry.
