Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews

1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB) has three 4-aminophenyl groups attached to a benzene ring at meta-positions. It is widely used as a tritopic ligand linker for the construction of porous polymeric covalent organic frames (COFs).

Porous polyimide COF PAF-120, derived from 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic dianhydride by condensation reaction to form imide linkers, demonstrates great thermal and chemical stability with selective adsorption of C₂H₂ over C₂H₄ and CO₂ over N₂. COF-2, a COF with three components of 2,5-divinylterephthaldehyde, biphenyl dialdehyde and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene, shows efficient adsorption of bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol A (BPA) due to the hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions.
