H2L can be potentially used in the formation of highly porous nanotubular and ultramicroporous metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for greener applications like hydrogen storage, methane storage and gas separation.
9,10-Anthracenedicarboxylic acid (H2L) is an anthracene based dicarboxylic compound, which has a larger conjugating π-system that enables the development of fluorescent materials. It has interesting magnetic and luminescent properties. It can be used as a bridging carboxylic acid ligand with a steric bulk due to the presence of its anthracene ring.
