Hexahydroxytriphenylene

2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexahydroxytriphenylene, a building block for two-dimensional polymers

Hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) is any of a set of organic compounds consisting of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon core—triphenylene—with six hydroxy group substituents attached to the rings. These compounds have found use as a component of two-dimensional polymers. The first covalent organic framework used this chemical as a monomer building block.[1] It can be used for self-assembling metal–organic frameworks.[2][3]
