Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews


2′,5′-Dimethoxy-[1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid (H2TPDC-OMe), a rigid terphenyl ligand with flexible functional groups, can provide various coordination modes and diverse architectures with inorganic metal cluster centres. With three linearly connected phenyl rings, 2′,5′-dimethoxy-[1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid is also capable of showing photoluminescence.

Porous MOF [Cd(L)(OBA)]·DMF·H2O, where L is H2TPDC-OMe, shows high adsorption for CO2 with an uptake of 26.75 cm3/g at 295 K. {[Cd(L)(OBA)]·DMF·H2O}n also demonstrates great potential for selective separation of CO2 and CH4, due to the different interaction mechanism between the gases and the open metal sites.
