| Application: | Azelaic acid, a bolaamphiphile, is generally used as a spacer/linker in synthetic chemistry. Some of the applications include: • Synthesis of pH-responsive metallo-hydrogels as potential dye-adsorbing agents, and vitamin B12 carriers. • Synthesis of fluorescent uranyl (UO22+) coordination polymers. • Synthesis of various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and supramolecular macrocyclic adducts. • Conversion of hydrophobic up-converting rare-earth nanophosphors (UCNPs) into water-soluble, carboxylic acid-functionalized analogs to facilitate conjugation with biomolecules such as streptavidin. |
| General description: | Azelaic acid is used as a therapeutic agent in dermatology. |
