High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Trimellitic Acid
Trimellitic Acid is an isomer of benzenetricarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C9H6O6 . It is primarily used as carboxylate ligand in the synthesis of a wide range of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Trimellitic Acid can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom BH stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
