Benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide (BCTH), CAS number 36997-31-6, has three carboxylic acid trihydrazide groups sitting at the 1,3,5-positions of a benzene ring.

Star-shaped triphenylamine-benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide molecule (TPA-TCH) with a twisted molecular conformation exhibited unusual multifunctional optical properties with three peripheral triphenylamine units and a central benzene bridged by flexible hydrazide groups.

Covalent organic gels prepared from benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide and 1,4-phthalaldehyde showed great stability in acidic media. They demonstrated high proton conductivity over wide temperature range of −40 to 60 °C under anhydrous conditions with state-of-the-art conductivity of 3.8 × 10−4 S cm–1 at −40 °C.

Constructed by using benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide, 2,4,6-trihydroxy-benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde (Tp) as building blocks, hydrazone-linked COF, TpBth, demonstrated a 2D framework with AA packing. The large number of carbonyl groups as well as −NH–NH2– groups on the backbone are responsible for high water absorption capacity and great chemical stability. The highest water-assisted proton conductivity value of TpBth can reach 2.11 × 10–4 S cm–1, among the high proton conductivity values of the reported COFs.
