Overview
Related Products

1,3,5-Tris(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene (TEPB), CAS number 71866-86-9, has a trigonal structure with three 4-ethynylphenyl groups sitting at meta-positions to each other around a benzene ring. 1,3,5-Tris(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene is generally engaged in the synthesis of porous conjugated polymers (PCPs) and other semiconducting covalent organic frameworks (COFs).

Microporous conjugated semiconducting polymer, PCP-SO-TPB, prepared from 1,3,5-tris(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene as the linker and 2,7-dibromodibenzo[b,d]thiophene 5,5-dioxide as the active nodes via Sonogashira–Hagihara cross-coupling reaction, exhibited high BET surface areas, high CO₂over N₂ selectivity, and broad visible light absorptions. PCP-SO-TPB demonstrated high carbon monoxide production rate of 40.12 μmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹ and nearly 100% product selectivity without using organic sacrificial reagent and additional cocatalyst.

1,3-diyne-linked conjugated microporous polymer nanosheets (CMPNs), prepared by oxidative coupling of terminal alkynes 1,3,5-tris-(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene, demonstrated highly efficient photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production under visible light with quantum efficiency of 10.3% at 420 nm.
