1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid; CAS No.: 569-51-7; 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid. PROPERTIES: 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid, also known as trimellitic acid, appears as white to off-white crystalline powder with a slight acidic odor. Its molecular formula is C9H6O6, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 210.14 g/mol. The compound exhibits a melting point in the range of 200-203 C and demonstrates low solubility in water but is more soluble in hot water and polar organic solvents such as methanol and dimethylformamide. It is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be protected from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. Proper storage involves keeping it in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25 C) in a dry environment. Safety considerations include wearing appropriate protective equipment as the compound may cause skin irritation and eye damage. Inhalation of dust should be avoided, and in case of accidental exposure, thorough washing with water and medical consultation is recommended. The substance is classified as harmful if swallowed (GHS classification). APPLICATIONS: 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid serves as a versatile intermediate in the chemical industry, particularly valuable in the production of polyesters and polyurethanes. Its tricarboxylic acid functionality enables the formation of high molecular weight polymers with enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties (Journal of Applied Polymer Science). In materials science, 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid functions as a building block for creating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers through its ability to form multiple coordination bonds with metal ions, resulting in porous materials with applications in gas storage and separation (Chemistry of Materials). Additionally, the compound finds application in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its polycarboxylic acid structure provides opportunities for further functionalization and bioactive molecule design (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). It is also employed in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors for metal surfaces, where its carboxylic acid groups adsorb onto metal substrates to prevent oxidation and degradation (Corrosion Science).
