Product Description
Product Name:
- 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic Acid (Trimesic Acid)
- Molecular Formula: C9H6O6
- Molar Mass: 210.14 g/mol
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder or needle-shaped/prismatic crystals.
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Melting Point: >300 °C (decomposes); precise range: 374-376 °C.
- Boiling Point: 561.4 °C (at 760 mmHg).
- Density: ~1.48 g/cm³ (estimated).

- Insoluble in nonpolar solvents like benzene and toluene.
- Stability:
- Stable under normal storage conditions (closed containers at room temperature).
- Sensitive to light; avoid prolonged exposure.
- Decomposes at high temperatures, releasing toxic fumes (e.g., CO, CO2) when burned.
- Acidity: A tricarboxylic acid with three dissociable protons, exhibiting strong acidic properties in aqueous solutions.
Applications
- Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs):
- A key building block for synthesizing MOFs by coordinating with metal ions (e.g., Zn², Cu², Zr).
- MOFs based on trimesic acid are used for:
- Gas storage/separation (e.g., CO2 capture).
- Catalysis (e.g., esterification reactions).
- Sensing and drug delivery.
- Pharmaceuticals:
- Serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs and bioactive compounds.
- Polymer and Coatings Industry:
- Used to produce polyesters, alkyd resins, and plasticizers.
- Enhances cross-linking in resins for improved mechanical and thermal properties.
- Chemical Synthesis:
- A precursor for dyes, agrochemicals, and corrosion inhibitors.
- Reacts with amines to form amides or with alcohols to form esters.
Safety and Handling
- Hazardous Properties:
- Irritant: May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation (Risk Code: R36/37/38).
- Non-toxic at low doses, but direct contact or inhalation of dust should be avoided.
- Safety Precautions:
- Personal Protection: Wear gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from oxidizing agents and light.
- Emergency Measures:
- For eye/skin contact: Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
