Benzenepentacarboxylic acid

Description:
Benzenepentacarboxylic acid, also known as 1,2,3,4,5-pentacarboxylic acid or by its systematic name, is a polycarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of five carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups attached to a benzene ring. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to its multiple polar carboxylic acid groups. Its high acidity is attributed to the presence of these carboxyl groups, which can donate protons in solution. Benzenepentacarboxylic acid is used in various applications, including as a precursor in organic synthesis and in the production of certain polymers and resins. Additionally, it can serve as a chelating agent in coordination chemistry, forming complexes with metal ions. The compound's structure allows for significant hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to skin and mucous membranes.
