Application

2-Aminoterephthalic acid can be used to synthesize:
  • Lanthanide coordination polymers with 1,10-phenanthroline by hydrothermal method.
  • Blue-emitting derivatives of 2-aminoterephthalic acid.
  • Amino-functionalized Zr-terephthalate (UiO-66), an excellent catalyst for selective synthesis of jasminaldehyde.
  • IRMOF-3, a zinc aminoterephthalate metal-organic framework useful as a catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate.
  • Polymeric composite membrane with excellent CO2 separation capabilities.
