2,5-Diethoxyterephthalohydrazide (CAS number 1136292-71-1), is a para-diethoxybenzene substituted with two carbohydrazide at 1-, 4-potition. 2,5-Diethoxyterephthalohydrazide is well-known for its synthesis of COF-42 with 1,3,5-triformylbenzene. COF-42 is chemically robust due to its hydrazide linkers and is widely employed as the platform for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. When 2,5-diethoxyterephthalohydrazide reacts with metalated-porphyrinic aldehydes, it produces 2D COFs (MPor-DETH-COFs, M: Zn, Ni, Co). These MPhor-DETH-COFs exhibit photocurrent of up to 0.9 μA/cm2 and an average hydrogen evolution rate up to 413 μmol/g/h.

COFs synthesised from 2,5-diethoxyterephthalohydrazide and triformylbenzene derivatives feature large amount of amines in the network making it favourable for capturing CO2. These COFs show a high surface area of 2336 m2/g and CO2 uptake capacities ranging from 1.14-2.66 mmol/g.
