General description

1,3,5-Tris(bromomethyl)benzene has three bromo substituents around an aromatic ring that can be used as a cross-linker. It is mainly utilized in the synthesis of ligands and dendrimeric monomers.

Application

1,3,5-Tris(bromomethyl)benzene can be crosslinked with triptycene monomers by using Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to form microporous polymers for selective adsorption of CO2 and H2. Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) can be fabricated by covalently linking polybenzimidazole (PBI) and 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene as part of the tri-functional bromomethyls for fuel cell applications. It is also used in the synthesis of trifluoroacetamide derivative triaza[33]cyclophane.
A monomer for synthesizing dendrimers and light emitting oligomers.

The recent upsurge in research on coordination polymer gels (CPGs) stems from their synthetic modularity, nanoscale processability, and versatile functionalities. Here we report self-assembly of an amphiphilic, tripodal low-molecular weight gelator (L) that consists of 4,4',4-[1,3,5-phenyl-tri(methoxy)]-tris-benzene core and 2,2':6',2″-terpyridyl termini
