Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews


[1,1'-Biphenyl]-3,3',5,5'-tetracarbaldehyde (TABP), CAS number 150443-85-9, is consisted of a biphenyl linker with four carbaldehyde groups at 3,3',5,5'-positions of the biphenyl structure.

Derived from [1,1'-biphenyl]-3,3',5,5'-tetracarbaldehyde and bearing hydroxyl groups, dual-pore COF-BTA-DHBZ showed a fast removing process of chromium (VI) with a maximum adsorption capacity up to 384 mg g−1. Study revealed that the hydroxyl groups on the backbone of the COF played a critical role for the capture of Cr (VI).

A donor-acceptor (D–A) structure of Co-COF-BT, comprising (1,1′-biphenyl)-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarbaldehyde and 4,4′-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl)bis[benzenamine], possesses excellent photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity with a CO yield of 2423 μmol g−1h−1 and selectivity >99% under visible light. It is believed that the introduction of Co2+ to the COF pores provides additional active sites. It is the Co-S bond in Co-COF-BT that generates an additional channel for ultrafast electron migration from the COF-BT unit to the Co2+ active centre to increase charge mobility and reduce the energy barrier.
