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.
Trimesic acid (TMA), also known as 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, has a self-organized 2D molecular network structure formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid residues in bulk crystals.
Application
TMA can be used in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which can be used as organic linkers potentially utilized in sensors.
