General description

4-Benzoylbenzoic acid is a benzophenone derivative. It can undergo hydrogenolysis to 4-benzylbenzoic acid. Cotton fabrics incorporated with 4-benzoylbenzoic acid have shown pesticide degradation ability, when exposed to UV irradiation.

Application

4-Benzoylbenzoic acid, along with methacrylic acid can be used as ligands for synthesizing a novel Tb(III) ternary complex with luminescent property.
