Trimesic acid also known as benzene-135-tricarboxylic acid is a benzene derivative with three carboxylic acid groups.Trimesic acid is a planar molecule (and is one of only four benzenecarboxylic acids with that property).Trimesic acid can be combined with para-hydroxypyridine to make a water-based gel stable up to 95 °C.Trimesic acid crystallizes from water in a hydrogen-bonded hydrated network with wide unidimensional empty channels.
