Application

  • Binders for metals in industrial processes: A study explored the use of hydroxyl-terminated dendrimers with sulfonimide linkers, where mesitylene was employed as a critical solvent in the synthesis process, offering potential in industrial metal binding applications (Abu Sbeih and Al Harahsheh, 2024).
  • Permeation networks for selective solvent filtration: Research demonstrated the use of mesitylene in creating superoleophilic, chemically and mechanically resistant percolation networks of ZIF-7 and ZIF-11 for the selective permeation of oils and chlorinated solvents, indicating its utility in industrial chemical processes (Prasanthi and Datta, 2023).
  • Green synthesis of covalent organic frameworks: A review highlighted the role of mesitylene in the green and facile preparation of covalent organic frameworks, emphasizing its significance in sustainable and advanced applications in chemical engineering (Azadi and Dinari, 2023).

New bimetallic mu-oxo diferric complexes of several previously reported calix[4]pyrrole Schiff base macrocycles are described. The synthesis of a new member of this class of macrocycles is also reported; it was prepared via an acid-catalyzed condensation between 1,9-bisformyl-5,5-dipropyldipyrromethane and o-phenylenediamine.
