CAS 517-60-2

Mellitic acid

Description:

Mellitic acid, with the CAS number 517-60-2, is an organic compound classified as a polycarboxylic acid. It is derived from the mineral mellite, which is a natural occurrence of the substance. The chemical formula of mellitic acid is C6(COOH)6, indicating that it contains six carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) attached to a benzene-like ring structure. This unique arrangement contributes to its high acidity and solubility in water. Mellitic acid is known for its ability to form complexes with metal ions, making it useful in various applications, including as a chelating agent in analytical chemistry and potential uses in materials science. It is also studied for its potential biological activities and applications in pharmaceuticals. The compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and has a relatively high melting point. Due to its multiple carboxylic groups, mellitic acid exhibits strong acidic properties and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and salt formation.

Mellitic acid

CAS: 517-60-2

Mellitic acid is a sodium salt of an inorganic acid. It has been used as a matrix effect agent to study the kinetics of solute transport through polymer films. Mellitic acid is also used as a substrate film for fluorescence spectrometry studies of the interaction between metal ions and polymers. The hydroxyl group on mellitic acid can form hydrogen bonds with the carboxylic acid groups in polymers, which may be responsible for its antimicrobial activity.
