General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

1,3,5-Tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (BTB) is a building block for Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are 3D-microporous materials with potential applications in gas adsorption and separation technologies. BTB has been recently used as a linker to make MOFs with extremely high surface area such as MOF-177 (~ 5000 m2/g), a hydrogen absorbing material with an extremely high hydrogen storage capacity of 7.5% at 77K.
1,3,5-Tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H3BTB) is a star-shaped two-dimensional molecule that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of substrates. It can be used as a tritopic bridging ligand that facilitates the functionalization of polyoxometalate-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for potential usage in gas storage, gas separation, and catalysis.[1][2]

Post-synthetic modification of the hafnium metal-organic framework MOF-808(Hf) to include triarylphosphine ligands is reported. Sulfonated phenylphosphines are incorporated without oxidation to give a "MOF ligand" that can complex late transition metals such as Ir and Rh to give a bifunctional

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. Which alternative ligand can be used for the synthesis of Zn-MOF-177, which has the same characteristics as 1,3,5Tris(4-carboxyphenyl) benzene?

    1 answer
    1. An alternative for 1,3,5-Tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene for the synthesis of Zn-MOF-177 is a process that will need to be validated by the end-user. It may be helpful to review the peer-reviewed articles:

  2. Is a protocol available for using Product 686859, Benzoic acid, to produce Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with high surface area?

    1 answer
    1. Unfortunately, Sigma-Aldrich does not manufacture MOFs and do not have a protocol for using this material for a similar application. However, a synthesis method for preparing MOF-177 (a MOF with high surface area) can be obtained from the following reference: Chae, H. K.; Siberio-Perez, D. Y.; Kim, J.; Go, Y.-B.; Eddaoudi, M.; Matzger, A. J.; O’Keeffe, M.; Yaghi, O. M. Nature 2004, 427, 523-527. In addition to product #686859, Zinc (II) nitrate hexahydrate (e.g. product #96482) and N,N-Diethylformamide (e.g. product #186317) would be required to prepare the MOF in this reference.
