Application

1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic acid is extensively used as a ligand in the synthesis of a wide range of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers. It can also be used to prepare supramolecular hydrogels by synthesizing gelators reacting 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid with 4-hydroxy pyridine.

Thermodynamic parameters for the complexation of Eu(3+) with pyromellitic acid (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, BTC) as a model system for polymerizable metal-complexing humic acids were determined using temperature-dependent time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). At low metal and

The chiral but highly symmetrical acyclic and cyclic pyromellitic diimide dimers and trimers 2-5 have been obtained and characterized for the first time. The pyromellitdiimide chromophores in these molecules are linked by a rigid diequatorially 1,2-disubstituted cyclohexane skeleton. The structures
