TABQ Serving as An Electrode Material or as An Amine Linker for COFs/MOFs
TABQ [T4344] is a tetraamine type linker that can fuse with carbonyl compounds and phenols and is used in the synthesis of functional COF and ladder polymer materials. In addition, TABQ coordinates with transition metals to form functional MOFs. TABQ can also be applied as a raw material for the synthesis of electrode active materials such as TATP and BTABQ.

Sodium Electrolytes Useful for Sodium-Ion Battery Research
Sodium Bis(oxalato)borate (=NaBOB) [O0709] and Sodium Difluoro(oxalato)borate (=NaDFOB) [O0594] are sodium electrolytes useful for sodium-ion battery research. Sodium-ion batteries have been widely developed as cost-effective and scalable energy storage solutions due to the ubiquitous nature of sodium resources and their similarity to commercially successful lithium-ion batteries. NaBOB is expected to serve as a sodium-ion battery electrolyte with higher thermal stability than the commonly used sodium hexafluorophosphate.

Pyrene Building Blocks with Boronic Acid Ester Moieties
4-Pyreneboronic Acid Pinacol Ester [T3857], Pyrene-1,6-diboronic Acid Bis(pinacol) Ester [B6006], and Pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetraboronic Acid Tetrakis(pinacol) Ester [T4307] are pyrene derivatives with π-conjugated structure containing highly reactive boronic acid ester moieties. They can be modified by cross-coupling reactions and have a wide range of useful applications in the synthesis of organic electronics materials, light-emitting materials, bio-imaging reagents, and COFs.

Alicyclic Raw Material for Polyimides: DNDA
DNDA [D5970] is an alicyclic tetracarboxylic anhydride monomer consisting of a single isomer. In combination with various diamines, it can be applied to the synthesis of polyimides with high thermal stability and transparency.
